FUN FACT

 Powder House 

The powder house, south of the wagon bridge, was the storage building for black powder, used to blast massive rectangular blocks of sandstone away from the bluffs.  It also stored dynamite to break up rock for the stone crusher.  Andy Pajala was in charge of much of the blasting.  Victor Gjertson also worked with the volatile black powder.
