Other than general Google searches, and word of mouth, are there any better ways to find sawyers? I live in Plymouth, WI.

There are many ways to find sawyers in your area. My first advice to you is to ask anyone you find if they know how to produced box heart timbers. If they say "what's that?" then walk away as they don't have any experience in doing that.
1) call or go to woodmizer.com and select the pro-sawyer network option, and under services of the main page. then select "local sawyer directory" and enter your state. This will product a long list of sawyers in your state. You can find one close to you, hopefully.
There are other data bases that you can use to find a sawyer.
2) One is on the forestryforum.com. Again select your state and you should get a list of sawyers.
3) There is also, woodfinder.com, woodweb.com, woodplanet.com, timberframeHQ.com to name a few.
Good luck with your project.
