Volunteer | Maine Forest & Logging Museum

The Maine Forest & Logging Museum is built on a spirit of community and hard work — just like Maine’s early logging camps. Today, volunteers are the heart and soul of everything we do.

From restoring historic artifacts to greeting visitors at events, volunteers make it possible to share Maine’s rich history with thousands of guests every year. Your time, your skills, and your passion are vital to keeping this living history alive.
