Lumbermen's Museum overview
Lumbermen's Museum
One of the main draws of the museum is the recreated logging camp, which gives visitors a glimpse into what life was like for the lumbermen who lived and worked in the forests of Maine. The camp includes a bunkhouse, cookhouse, and blacksmith shop, as well as various tools and equipment used in the logging process.
The museum also features exhibits on the history of the Penobscot River, which was a major transportation artery for the lumber industry in Maine. Visitors can learn about the log drives that brought logs down the river to the mills in Bangor, as well as the various industries that developed along the river, such as shipbuilding and fishing.
Other exhibits at the museum include a sawmill, which demonstrates the various stages of lumber production, from cutting logs to planing boards, as well as a display of vintage logging trucks and equipment.
Overall, the Lumbermen's Museum is a fascinating and educational destination for anyone interested in the history of the logging industry in Maine. Visitors can gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and hardships faced by the men who worked in the forests, as well as the impact that logging had on the state's economy and environment.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
