Crystal Lumber Celebrates 70 Years

Crystal Lumber, a third-generation family-owned and operated retail lumber and building material supplier in Crystal Falls, Michigan, celebrated its 70th birthday on Aug. 18, 2023, with a community fundraising event Friday benefiting the Iron County Fire Victims Fund.

“We’re very excited to hold this celebration to honor our history and share our vision for the future, but more importantly, we’re thrilled to have an event that gives back directly to our community,” said Crystal Lumber owner Chris Willman. “I am hopeful that we can make this an annual event, supporting various charities in the surrounding area.”

The party included a classic car show, food vendors, cake, music and a gift bag for the first 200 guests. All proceeds from beer sales directly supported the Iron County Fire Victims Fund.

Crystal Lumber has been serving the Northwoods since 1953 and is Iron County’s oldest full-service, year-round lumber and building material supply center, featuring the area’s largest kitchen and bath showroom and offering a selection of cabinetry, countertops and fixtures. Crystal Lumber also offers customizable residential drafting and design services.
