The Maine Forestry Museum is a non-profit organization founded in 1979, but the museum building itself wasn’t built until 1994. Situated in the middle of Rangeley, where logging took place going back all the way to the 1800’s, the museum is surrounded by beautiful surroundings consisting of rivers, streams, lakes, and waterfalls, as well as wildlife. There is a vast artifact collection from the Northeast showcased at the Maine Forestry Museum, including hundreds of logging operation artifacts. Traditional art hand-crafted by Maine lumbermen is also on display at this unique museum.
