Lake Cowichan Logging Museum

Great place to visit, great place to hang out for a bit. Well thought out displays for the interested and curious.

Lumber carrier and a rubber tire logging arch




Got a little carried away with the orange paint





















Wooden spokes and hard rubber tires

Serious looking grapple

I put my ball cap down at the pointy end to show how big this grapple is

I took a photo....of a photo that was on the wall of the museum

One of the many displays in the museum

Another photo of a photo

They built perfect re-creations of how things looked way back when

This bunkhouse set-up is inside the museum building







Newspaper articles about loggers deaths in the bush






Topping a spar tree

Logging train that toppled over when the ground became saturated from too much rain

Old chainsaw...I don't know the model type
