At one time, logging made this area very wealthy, and you can learn a lot of its history at this fine museum and view a lot of equipment used at the time, too. If you have a chance, also take a look at some of the enormous mansions that were built by other logging barons on Broadway Hill in Aberdeen.

When you contrast Grays Harbor today, with the thriving shipbuilding, wealthy area of the past, it's hard to fathom. Take the time to visit this great museum and really get a feel for what once was, from ship-building, to logging, to fishing. There's even Kurt Cobain material, so it's likely everyone will find something of interest here. Free admission, though donations are most welcome and needed.
