Dear Friends,

As we close out another wonderful year at the Maine Forest & Logging Museum, I want to take a moment to thank you for being such an important part of our community. Your generosity and enthusiasm have fueled another season of highly successful educational programming, community partnerships, and our trademark living history events — welcoming visitors of all ages to experience the sights, sounds, and spirit of Maine’s logging heritage and culture.

It’s been inspiring to see how much we can accomplish together. Thanks to your continued support — and the tireless efforts of our dedicated volunteers — the museum continues to thrive as a place where history comes alive, families learn together, and traditions are passed forward.

As we look ahead to 2026, one of our major goals is to build the museum’s Endowment Fund so that all school-age children can visit the museum free of charge. We believe every child should have the opportunity to connect with Maine’s forest and logging heritage - to see, touch, and experience the history that shaped our state. This vision can only become a reality through the strength of our endowment and the generosity of friends like you.

I invite you to take a moment to view our Annual Appeal (attached). This one-page overview shares how your contributions help sustain and expand our programs, care for our historic grounds and equipment, and grow the Endowment Fund that will secure the museum’s future for generations to come.

If our mission continues to resonate with you, please consider making a tax-deductible gift today — by mail, clicking on this link https://live.givebutter.com/c/m9uzOh or through the QR code included in the appeal. Your generosity keeps Maine’s forest and logging history alive for all to experience, and helps us open the doors even wider for the next generation.

With heartfelt thanks,

Maine Forest and Logging Museum
