The Forest History Center is a living museum located in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, dedicated to preserving the history of the state's forest industry. The center is situated on a 150-acre site that was once a working forest, and visitors can explore the restored 1900s-era logging camp, complete with bunkhouses, a cookhouse, and a blacksmith shop.

The center also features interactive exhibits that showcase the tools and techniques used in the logging industry, as well as the environmental impact of logging on the region's forests. Visitors can learn about the history of the Ojibwe people, who have lived in the region for thousands of years, and their relationship with the forest.

The center also offers educational programs for school groups and families, including hands-on activities like log rolling and sawing. In the summer, visitors can take a guided tour of the site on a horse-drawn wagon.

Overall, the Forest History Center is a fascinating destination for anyone interested in the history of Minnesota's forests and the people who worked and lived in them.
