Port Clements Museum

Excellent museum, prime focus being the logging and mining history of the 20th century. Lots of objects. Archives of photos and articles. All the big equipment outside has detailed writeups inside including how some pieces were salvaged from the forest and photographs of the process.

Lots of info, current and period, about the golden spruce.

As a bonus, basically across the street, is the new fledgling golden spruce.

Great little museum for a small town that has a lot of history and character.

All for only 5 bucks!

Awesome museum! Compact, but the exhibits are very entertaining. Entrance is only $5. It's definitely worth it!

In addition to the large forestry-related items outside, the museum contains a fascinating, eclectic collection of community artifacts. I thought it was worth the visit.

We came to later to do the tour of the inside, so this is a review solely based on the equipment on the outside of the building. The outside has a ton of old forestry machinery that had very well laid out, and descriptive plaques explaining what everything was. My partner is in forestry, and I have never seen him so excited about looking around at a museum. He really thrived with the detailed descriptions. He still is telling me random facts that he learned well we were there. I wish we would have been able to go inside, but even without that experience I still highly recommend taking a stop. It is well worth your time.

Lots of great information about the history of the area. The albums about the famous spruce tree were well done. There was a lot to see in a small space, with several artefacts from different eras. It was a little odd to see items in a 'museum' that I had seen or used in my youth.

Cool little museum.visits some of the history of the place that seems to be otherwise untold on the Island.

The museum is a great local place to make a stop at when entering Port Clements
