What a great story told on the trail
Travelling on Highway 60, we stopped to visit the Algonquin Logging Museum. What a great place to visit. Starting with a video presentation which end with the screen rising and the trail outside in front of us. Walking round the trail the story of logging in the park is told with information boards and displays. There are many photo opportunities. In this case we selected around 70 for our on-line gallery, of which 6 have been selected to share on facebook. It was a dry warm overcast day when we visited. The trail took us around an hour to walk around the trail, which whilst is step free, undulates with several gradients.

Walk through history
This was very well done! After watching a short video (don't miss it - it tells you a lot about the logging history in Algonquin), you hike for a little over a kilometre. There are "stations" along the way that walk you from the early 1800's to the late 1950's. You can walk back into time and see how the men lived and worked from backbreaking dangerous work to current conditions enhanced with technology.

Just what you've been pining for
This is an outdoor museum where you follow an easy trail from site to site to learn about the history of logging in the park. You start at the reception building which houses some displays and video, then you do a self-guided walk to see other buildings, equipment and exhibits. There are lots of signs with information. It's actually quite interesting and more fun than it probably sounds.
