Camp 6 Logging Museum was located on a forested site inside Point Defiance Park in Tacoma, Washington. Established in 1964 as the Camp Six Logging Exhibit by Western Forest Industries Museum, Inc by members of the Logging Industry in Washington State. Designed by logging engineers, Camp 6 included a replica of an operating railroad connecting the working sites with the bunk houses and bunk cars of the camp. The museum was a National Registered Historic Place, and featured several historic buildings and over 500 tons railroad and logging equipment. Many pieces of equipment were powered by steam. The museum was last operated by the Tacoma Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society from 1989 to 2010, staffed by volunteers, and funded by individual and corporate donations. Camp 6 was closed December 2010 when Public and Private funding ran out and forced the closing. All of the equipment was removed to other Museums in Washington, Oregon and California during 2011 and 2012. Some of the Major Equipment relocations: Pacific Coast Shay Lima # 3346 (KL&L No.7) & Weyerhaeuser No.3 Lidgerwood Tower Skidder moved to Roots of Motive Power Museum, Willits, CA. Some of the Bunk Houses and Bunk Cars moved to The Mt Rainier Scenic Railroad's Mineral Lake Shop Complex at Mineral, Washington. Other Equipment and the Photo Collection were passed on to the Polson Museum in Hoquiam, Washington. The "Don Olson Art Collection" was placed with the Weyerhaeuser Company Art Collection, Federal Way, Washington. After extensive site clean-up the property was returned September of 2012 to Metro Parks Tacoma and is currently being used for overflow parking for events in the Park. Tacoma School District's Science And Math Institute's official school building may occupy this empty location in approximately the 2015-2016 school year. The Metro Parks Board Of Directors still need to decide the future of the site. ==External links== *(Camp 6 Logging Museum ) – official site (Not Active) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Camp 6 Logging Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
