5/14/10 – Back in the 1920’s, Cindy’s grandfather, Clarence Johnson, lived here at Sawbill in the Forest Service cabin at the north end of the campground. It was a different, smaller cabin back then, although the cabin still exits and is being used by the Birch Grove charter school in Tofte. Forest Service archeologist, Lee Johnson, sent a picture of the cabin taken shortly after it was built. Neither of the gentlemen in the picture is Cindy’s grandfather and they are not identified on the photo.
