The National Museum of Forest Service History's 2025 Saving History Auction is honored to give you experience and baskets from around the United States. With our mission to Share the Rich History and Story of America’s Conservation Legacy we wanted to focus on all the things we love and share them with you.

When you support the Saving History 2025 auction you help:

Individuals and families visit the Museum's campus for the 9th season
Continue the preservation of our over 50,000 item collection
Support research using our collection
Forest Service Retirees gather at the 2025 Forest Service Retiree Reunion (Sept 21-26)
Record and tell the stories of today and how everyone can help us preserve America's Conservation Legacy
The staff at the museum to have quality equipment
** We do have an auction item that you can contribute to the purchase of a new riding lawnmower for campus. It is set up to purchase shares at $20. We estimate it will be $6,000 to $8,000 to get a quality machine that will last us many years. **
