Sightseeing
Our favorite historical and informative must see is the Forks Timber Museum at 1421 S Forks Ave located at the edge of town. Be sure to give yourself enough time to see all that is inside the main cabin with its pictures, tools and wonderful displays of how rugged and beautiful life was for the pioneers of that time. There is also a nature trail and a gift shop nearby. A lot of fun for kids as well as adults.

This is a family owned business very friendly staff. You may order a pizza to take home to bake or have it baked for you to take home, or baked to eat it there. Happily accommodate my vegan pizza request (no cheese, extra sauce, + pineapple).
