We invite you to visit... In 1880 the site that was to become Glenwood City was a tranquil glen (valley) in the midst of huge forests. By 1885-1890 with the coming of the railroad and the lumber mills, Glenwood was the major trading center of the area with a population of 2000.
English walnut trees can be tapped successfully, especially when subjected to a freezing winter and spring. Paper birch (Betula papyrifera) The paper birch has a lower sugar content than sugar maple (less than 1%), but is the sweetest of the birch trees.
The multibranched, often gracefully crooked tree reaches 16â19 metres (50â60 feet). It produces upright sprays of yellow-centred flowers on white stalks. Dilo, a strongly scented medicinal oil, is extracted from the seeds, and the wood is used in building canoes.
