The Carriage Wing at the Museum contains early logging tools including axes, saws, saw bucks, adzes, and even one of the earliest chain saws. Photographs are displayed of the early logging camps, horse logging operations, and lumber mills in Baker County.
The mining display contains artifacts from the 1800s Gold Rush days in Baker County including gold rockers, gold pans, assaying equipment, picks, rakes, ore samples, pictures and histories of the local mines. For the rock hound, there are fine agate and thunder egg collections and pictures of the Haines Granite Quarry.
From the gold mining ghost town of Bourne, Oregon the Museum obtained the historic Bourne Bar. Learn about the rowdy past of the gold mining camps.
