Located at Mile Marked 18 on Highway 26 in Seaside Oregon, this unique museum and memorial makes a good stop if you’re heading over to the coast. It’s located next door to the famous Camp 18 restaurant, so if you miss the turn, just park in the restaurant parking lot. From there, it’s a level walk over to the Loggers Memorial; however there’s also accessible parking near the building.
There’s level access to the Loggers Memorial, which contains over 400 copper plaques that honor the memory of those who felled timber in the Pacific Northwest. And you’ll also find a collection of tools, artifacts, and notes to the honorees throughout the exhibit. It’s a somber but educational display.
Outside the open-air Logging Museum features a collection of logging equipment including chainsaws, a boiler, a few railroad cars, a blacksmith shop, and every hand tool imaginable. The paths around the exhibits are mostly level and covered with gravel; however if you can’t manage the walk there’s a level overlook near the Loggers Memorial. And after you’ve had a gander at the artifacts, head next door for a loggers breakfast. There’s accessible parking near the restaurant, with ramp access up to the front door. All in all it’s a fun stop, but don’t follow your GPS, as it will take you to a neighboring farm.
