Welcome to the FORKS TIMBER MUSEUM From the 1950s to the 1970s Forks was the selfproclaimed Logging Capital of the World and the Forks Timber Museum was established in 1984 to preserve and document this rich logging history plus the pioneer history of early homesteaders in the Olympic Peninsula wilderness. Logging is still a significant part of the Forks economy but tourism to the Olympic National Park and the recent Twilight phenomenon attracts visitors from all over the world and the museum offers these visitors more than a history of logging. It is a convenient rest stop in the middle of a remote 160 mile stretch of hwy 101. There is ample parking including for RVs public WiFi and several picnic tables on the museum grounds.
