Welcome to Weyerhaeuser. The cache is located in the vicinity of a restored 1909 Soo Line Depot and Soo Line Caboose #168. This 20-ton caboose was built in the 1920s or 30s.
The caboose was acquired by the Weyerhaeuser community Aug. 27, 1974. It sat across from the post office until a group of volunteers laid new track and moved it next to the depot in 2022.
The depot was saved from the wrecking ball in 2013, when Canadian National Railroad wanted it removed from their right-of-way. CN sold it to the Weyerhaeuser Area Community Club for $1, and kicked off the restoration with a $15,000 grant.
Weyerhaeuser was established in 1884 by lumber baron Frederick Weyerhaeuser, who was then president of the Chippewa Logging Company.
