The Forks Timber Museum is the town's best introduction to the old economy of the west peninsula. It covers homesteading, logging camps, big storms, timber tools, and the rough work that made Forks a logging capital long before visitors came looking for vampires.
It is small, but it earns its stop because it explains why this wet town exists where it does. Pair it with the visitor centre next door if you need current advice on road and beach conditions.
