More from the Village

This is where OSB used to be produced, over a hundred jobs lost in the area when it closed. A similar plant in Canada near her is doing well. So much for NAFTA.


This is called the scale house, where wood on the trucks is weighed.

Wood from the trucks is stacked outside the pulp facility.



This is part of the pulp-making facility.

Woodland Public Library, which needs a new roof.

This is the old shopping center and bank. A local doctor now has his offce in the former bank, which is on the right end.

This is the center of a small park on Main Street, not far from the old shopping center. It has a few small flower beds and a play area for children.


The "Courts", located next to the elementary school, is a recreation area for teens. The surfaces aren't in great shape to play basketball or tennis, but people try anyway. You just never know which way the ball will go once it comes back off the surfacce.

Like any New England town, there are several churches. This is a church on Broadway, which also houses the local food pantry.


On the left is the entrance to the Catholic Church.




On a more personal note, this is the new metal roof on my parents' house.
