It brings you back a step in time when men were men and the work was hard and they could move mountains when you threw in a couple of good horse teams!! You can actually feel what it was like as they have the camps set up as if you werre there getting ready to head out with your axe or a first of a kind chain saw which some being 2 man and unbelievable in weight!!Absolutely a job well done!God Bless,
We stopped in on a rainy day shopping excursion. It was very interesting to see the tools that were used for logging in years past. They have an excellent collection of chain saws from the first powered saws, to the modern saws of today. Very interesting and worth the time!
Well made and new building and a good history of the area. Very cheap to get in and worth your time if you enjoy history.
Visiting the museum takes you back to the days of honest hard working folks without all the modern tools of todays logging operations. Very informative.
Filled with logging memorabilia. Great, welcoming staff. Very accessible. Especially found the videos interesting and informative. The residents of Rangeley are fabulous at making you feel welcome and also about sharing suggestions for visits to points of interest that you might not find without an insiders help.
Whether you're into logging or not, an adult or child, this carefully crafted, researched and presented museum tells a remarkable story. Through artifacts, award winning photography and printed word, you're in for a unique immersion into the tools & trade of early North American forestry.
love the changes to the museum. it is very well done. great displays, seating perfect for the logging competitions, well presented and very interesting. one of a kind - dont miss
Very nice job showing the history of the Rangeley are and logging. Great pictures and nice folks there to help.
We spent a week at the Rangeley Lakes Resort for our vacation. While there we picked up a pamphlet about this logging museum and decided to go. Glad we did! The lady there was fantastic and very passionate about the history of the museum. Both my boyfriend and I come from a "woods" background with our fathers working in the industry. We were amazed at the items on display but also the write-ups, etc that went along with it. If you don't go you're missing out on a vast amount of history not only for the area but Maine in general.
We visited the Logging Museum the last time we were in Rangeley. It is very interesting and informative. They continuing to add new exhibits every year. Some of the people involved in operating the museum are volunteers and their interest and care of the museum really shows.
