What is the story behind the Paul Bunyan Statue in Westwood?
Westwood was once one of the largest company lumber towns in the west, home to the Red River Lumber Company, the largest pine lumber mill in the world from 1913 to 1956. The 24 foot statue of legendary logger, Paul Bunyan and Babe his blue ox, honors Westwood’s logging heritage and presides over the Paul Bunyan Mountain Festival every July.
