About Forks Timber Museum

The Forks Timber Museum is a small local museum in Forks, Washington focused on the region’s timber and logging heritage. It documents tools, practices, and community life tied to logging on the Olympic Peninsula.

Exhibits concentrate on logging equipment, historic photographs, tool collections, and interpretive panels about local timber operations. Displays are modest in scale and emphasize artifacts and donor stories from area loggers.
