[History Hounds] Meet Webster Marble: The U.P.’s Greatest Inventor and Entrepreneur with Dennis Pace, Marble Arms Museum

After 20 years as a timber cruiser harvesting Michigan’s great white pine forests, Webster Marble arrived in Gladstone in 1885. There he built the Marble Arms Company, outfitting legions of hunters, anglers, campers, soldiers, and scouts. Learn how Webster revolutionized outdoor product branding, marketing, and sales from his U.P. factory.
