National Museum of Forest Service History

The National Museum of Forest Service History is a nonprofit organization independent of the USDA Forest Service. Our mission is to share the rich history and story of our country’s conservation legacy. The Museum has a 50,000 item archival collection of photographs, historic artifacts, documents, and books, many of which are available online. We also have traveling and virtual exhibits.

For more than 100 years, the U.S.D.A. Forest Service, its cooperators and partners have stood at the forefront of conservation in America, yet there has never been one central repository where artifacts and records could be collected, preserved and made available for exhibition, study and commemoration.
