Woodcarver exhibit opens 1 p.m. Saturday at CCHS

A new exhibit featuring wood carvings by Clayton Johnson will open at the Carlton County Historical Society on Saturday, Oct. 12 with a reception at 1 p.m. Johnson grew up in Wrenshall. His signature piece is a scale model of the 17th-century Swedish warship Vasa, which has been exhibited at the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis and at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Paul.

CCHS officials said a grant from United Way of Carlton County made this exhibit (and tours by schoolchildren) possible.
