Maine Forest & Logging Museum (Visit this link)

Leonard's Mills is the centerpiece of the Maine Forest and Logging Museum, Inc., a nonprofit organization incorporated in 1960 and dedicated to keeping alive the forest industry of long ago for the present day citizens of the State of Maine. Located on approximately 400 acres in Bradley on Blackman Stream, Leonard's Mills contains the site of a pioneer settlement identified by the remains of a stone dam and several house foundations. Today, Leonard's Mills breathes life once again as the museum continues an authentic reconstruction of a logging and milling community of the 1790s. The Museum, through our Living History site at Leonard's Mills, teaches people of all ages about the forest and logging history of Maine. Our general purposes are to collect, preserve and share artifacts, documents, tools and equipment, and stories relating to the history of the Maine woods, particularly the pioneer and lumbering periods.
