Hartwick Pines Logging Museum is situated among the towering trees of one of Michigan's largest remaining stands of virgin white pine. Here, visitors return to the state's 19th-century logging era, when thousands of men cut millions of board feet of lumber and Michigan led the nation in sawed lumber production. Within the forest visitor center and logging camp buildings, exhibits and period rooms tell the stories of the loggers, river men and entrepreneurs who powered Michigan's white pine industry. A paved trail through the forest leads visitors to the 300-year-old Monarch pine, a remnant of the ancient forests that once covered most of northern Michigan.
Located in Hartwick Pines State Park, the park also offers camping, picnicking, hiking and other seasonal activities.
This site is interpreted in cooperation with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Members of the Friends of Hartwick Pines support and provide volunteer help for programs and projects at Hartwick Pines.
