Pinewood's Past: A Look at its History
Pinewood began as a small settlement way back in 1879. It was an important stop for the Soo Line Railroad, which helped connect towns and move goods.
At its busiest time, Pinewood had many useful places. There was a Post Office where people could send and receive mail. A general store sold everyday items, and a mercantile store offered more specialized goods. There was also a sawmill, which cut wood from trees. People could find a livery stable for horses and even a hotel for travelers.
