In Myrtle Point, Oregon, this institution preserves the history of Coos County’s forest products industry, with particular attention to local logging and the working life built around it. Its most distinctive feature is a shingled dome modeled after the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, giving it an identity beyond its collections. Recognized for its historic value, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Operating as a nonprofit educational institution staffed entirely by volunteers, many from the logging camps themselves, it remains closely tied to both the community and the industry it represents.
