Description: Our collection
now consists of hundreds of artifacts from regional logging operations,
including two snubbing machines, sleds, an extensive collection of
crosscut and chain saws, the White Brothers' forerunner of the skidder,
and one of the last of the bateaux used on the Dead River drives.
Our exhibits on traditional art by western Maine lumbermen include
the fan towers and gumbooks of William Richard, the model drag drays
and logging sleds of Carl Trafton, and the chain saw carvings of Rodney
Richard and Rodney Richard Junior. And, we also own the nineteen oil
paintings of Alden Grant, grandson of the founder of Grants' Kennebago
Camps that document life in the region's lumbercamps from 1915 to
1928.
