Welcome to the
Maine Forest and Logging Museum
Our site is undergoing renovation.
Please pardon our appearance.
We are an event-based outdoor living history museum.
We preserve, demonstrate and recreate our state’s rich forestry and logging history.
To see what we’re about, come to one of our events.
Between events, the Museum is a lovely place to walk around.
Our Annual Appeal has started! Please check out the donation opportunity page to help support us in the coming year!

Thanks to Maine Community Foundation for supporting the Museum by awarding a Community Building 2022 Grant!
Our Hours
The grounds are open daily during daylight hours. Tuesdays are volunteer work days. Volunteers are on the grounds from around 9am to 1pm, and will answer questions and open buildings if asked.
