Scale Model of Record Load of Wood Hauled for Marshall Hastings
Constructed by Erland Wentzell, whose father, Stanley Wentzell, was foreman of the pulpwood logging operations for Hastings
The Museums of the Bethel Historical Society is fortunate to have several historical models in its collection. One of the most unique of these depicts an 11.2 cord load of wood hauled for Marshall Hastings in the winter of 1932-1933. The one-inch-to-one-foot scale model was built by Erland Wentzell over a three-year period from 1993-1995 and was shown at the Fryeburg Fair in 1995, where it won a blue ribbon.
