It is a characteristic of human nature that people like to get together and have fun, and people live
during America’s frontier days were no exception. However, because life was hard and the necessities of
day-to-day living took up their time, it was common for recreation to be combined with activities
necessary for survival. One example of such a form of recreation was logrolling. Many frontier areas were
heavily wooded, and in order to settle an area it was necessary to remove the trees. A settler could cut
down the trees alone, but help was needed to move the cut trees. After a settler had cut a bunch of trees, he
would then invite his neighbors over for a logrolling.
A logrolling is a community event where families got together for a combination of work and fun.
The women would bring food and have a much needed and infrequent opportunity to relax and chat with
friends, the children would play together exuberantly, and the men would hold lively competitions that
involved rolling logs from place to place as quickly as possible. This was a day of fun for everyone
involved.
