Hello kids! How bout a game of lumberjack lingo?
Lumberjacks had a lot of different words for things.
Question one: If you’re a lumberjack,
Daylight in the swamp!
And this cook serves you a plate of sweat pads for breakfast,
They're almost ready to come out.
You're eating:
And the answer is…
That’s just some of the lumberjack lingo you’ll already know when you head into the woods…
Do you kids know anything about trees?
To a 1900 logging camp at the Forest History Center.
Heave ho, heave
You’re learning and having fun at the same time.
Get ready to use your muscles just like Minnesota’s lumberjacks did.
One, two, three! Oooh, good strong arm.
Now I am the bulk cook here in the camp.
You’ll meet their helpers…
What do you think we feed the horses here in the logging camp?
You’ll pull some timber…
Giddy up! Giddy up! Giddy up! Giddy up!
And you’ll let loose…
Just like lumberjacks. When all the day’s hard work was done.
We’re looking forward to your visit. But before we go...
One more round of lumberjack lingo!
If you’re enjoying a cup of swamp water…
Are you drinking:
Think about it. Talk about it. And find out the answer…
When you visit…The Forest History Center!
