Explore History @ TRVCC: Historic Tie Hacks of Southern Wyoming (circa 1906-1912)

In the early 1900s, Carbon Timber Company established winter camps in the Sierra Madre Mountains along the Wyoming/ Colorado border where tie hacks used their broad axes to produce hand-cut railroad ties for the nation’s expanding railway system. Through historic photographs and evidence from archaeological investigations, Dave McKee will review the life and times of the historic tie hacks in the Sierra Madre Mountains.
