A Visit Back In Time
Historic White Pine Village offers a living-history, family-friendly, fun-filled tour of a late 19th – early 20th century pioneer village. The Village boasts 30 historic exhibit buildings, including the original 1849 Mason County Courthouse (on the National Register of Historic Places ) and an authentic turn-of-the-century steam locomotive, tender car, and flat car loaded with logs and headed toward the Village’s working sawmill. Visitors come face-to-face with early settlers: first-person interpreters with scripts carefully prepared by staff and historians, they interact and improvise with visitors in the persona of historical characters and recreate actual personages from Mason County. The buildings contain thousands of authentic artifacts and archives depicting the rich lumbering and agricultural history of its area. Thousands of area school children, families, individual visitors and residents tour the Village annually.

Best historical museum eveer`
This was a wonderful village with lots of history. I love that they have it connected so you can do audio and not just read the signs (my husband is blind and this was great). My sisters and I had a lovely time walking and exploring and learning. Would love to take others to this village soon.

Historic village plus a separate sports museum
Nice period setting with authentic artifacts of the times.. Lovely buildings and grounds but only one character in costume. He said that earlier there had been 450 school children on a field trip- thankfully our timing was good! Spent a good 3 hours touring the area and reading the history, very enjoyable afternoon and somewhat worth the now $13 per senior ticket price (used to be $10 by reading reviews so they socked it to us seniors)
