In Pine Museum Stop at the Empire in Pine Museum in Downsville and see the blacksmith shop that contains three different types of forges-a large bellow, a wheel and belt model and one driven by gears. Countless old tools are included in this display. The cook's shanty is much like one that would have been found in a logging camp during Dunn County's early days. The dingle was a storage room between the cook's shanty and the lumbermen's sleeping bunks.
