Great place if you like history and/or what are essentially very large antiques. It was well setup as a walking tour. One of the coolest local museum-style experiences I've had.

Great spot. Shady picnic tables to have lunch or a rest break from driving. Lots of historic logging equipment and history. Staff were friendly hard workers, very busy doing maintenance on historic equipment and facilities. Easy paved trail around much of the equipment, which allows access to all. Next time you are driving by, stop in for a break and a good history lesson.

I had no idea this place existed, but as I was driving to Crater Lake, I saw a sign for this museum and pulled in. I thought it was awesome! Really neat history of the logging industry and a beautiful location. I enjoyed the walk through all the outdoor exhibits and found the walk by the water very peaceful. One of my best drive-by finds.

Okay, this is a serious museum in regards to the PNW logging experience. Just an excellent display of the logging equipment evolution from horse drawn and hand sawn times up to modern equipment. All of this is laid out in a perfect timeline experience from horse, to steam, to internal combustion as you walk along the path. Placards describe many aspects of the period and the equipment. Wonderfully maintained walk through the woods with clean facilities and a nice gift shop. Includes original housing with explanations of several homes built in the 1800s. Just a wonderful experience that entertains as well as educates.

It is a self guided tour and we took our time (about 2 - 3 hours), to really appreciate it. Learned how the logging industry needed to change the keep up with progress. In the area it is a must see stop!

I have some close ties here being an arborist. Really neat collection of how my career got its start. Highly recommend stopping for some historical knowledge.

Great place to see how logging was done from the 1870's up to today. Expect to spend at least an hour. Donations are accepted.

A pleasant walk back through time. Self guided tour at your own pace.

Very cool outdoor walking museum of over 150 years of logging with machines and infoboards. It's worth the stop in!

Being someone that builds log loaders for log trucks, this was awesome to see. I loved seeing all the tools and equipment that was used in the day. Awesome place.

Great place to experience over 80 years of logging history. Wheelchair accessible. There is also a wonderful campground to stay in within walking distance.

More than a museum, more than an impressive collection of logging history, equipment and cabins. A place of inspiration for anyone. To see the equipment that men with sheer grit and determination, were able to accomplish amazing work. Just awesome!

This is a great stop along Highway 97. It's amazing to see our history of the logging industry and the equipment used. All of the heavy equipment is outdoors and spread out throughout the large property surrounded by beautiful trees! There are plaques explaining the history of each type of equipment and era it was built and used. It's a must see!

Great museum, even if you don't know much about logging. You'll know a lot about it by the time you leave. I think my favorite thing was seeing the wood-burning train engine that was built in 1884. I'm glad they have a cover over it. They also have tractors from the 1890's that were steam powered.

My husband and I are on our honeymoon, and wanted to stop here because we love museums. It was incredibly beautiful and well kept. All of the machines were so interesting to learn about. The cook house is definitely a place to stop to learn more about the hardworking people that logged this area. The man there was beyond kind to us. Please visit this gem of a place! It was such a great experience, we could have spent all day there.

Waaaayyyy more interesting than anticipated! Logger cabins + history ... from the days of oxen and horse logging through steam into diesel and the modern age.

I stopped here after things closed but the outside exhibits were still available and there was a decent amount of signage and a brochure that helped a lot. I found it interesting to learn about the history and development of logging. The equipment was neat too. Give it a try.

This is an outdoor museum dedicated to logging equipment. It is in Colliers Memorial State Park and is an easy walk from the campground. There are guided tours, or you can just walk through on your own. Lots of great signs to explain the evolution of logging in the area. The machinery is arranged by time periods and is displayed well. Lots of dedicated volunteers in gift shop, conducting tours, and providing demonstrations. Several old buildings and cabins have been moved to the site, but the machinery is the star of the show here. We spend a lot of time just walking around seeing everything. Well worth stopping to see.

Happy we stopped. Lots of historic logging equipment throughout the grounds. Thankful for the volunteers and public for keeping this museum open and clean. They were doing the tractor tours while we stopped. You can see the whole park in about an hour.

This is a Great Place ! Loved walking around Jill and I looking at all the Old Logging History. You can walk and look for Hours. No shortage of things to see and history to read. Bring lunch and sit most anywhere or go across the road to the Collier Day Rest. Yes there are Clean Restrooms , Tables and a Beautiful River in a Very Short Walk behind the Restrooms . Loved the Logging Museum and we will return. This is a " 5 " Thumbs Up Location for anyone interested in Logging History. 👍👍👍👍👍 Gene S. Roy

Very interesting. A good, affordable place to take the kids.

Well worth the drive, my family had a blast and though part of it is closed from last years fire there are plenty of other cool things to show all ages. This place was very clean, with wide open spaces. Highly recommended!

Wonderful and educational. A couple hours worth for sure. Friendly staff and lots to see, educational.

A unique open-air museum about the history of the forest workers and, above all, their lives and their machines ;) Forestry work began here in 1820, particularly the felling of huge Douglas firs. Absolutely amazing!!! At the same time very relaxing because it is located in the forest..
