Description
The Lombard Log hauler was instrumental in work for the Sherman Lumber Company at Sherman Station. The Sherman Lumber Company was founded in 1894 by Frank L. Robinson. For a time it was the oldest independently owned and continuously operated sawmill in the state. It began as a producer of sawn lumber only; in 1911 it began to manufacture hardwood flooring and later produced hardwood panels for the furniture
industry. In 1967, the first chipper was installed to supply round wood chips to the pulp and
paper industry. The company closed in the late 1990s.
