Published 1:30 am Thursday, October 7, 2021

Winnie Peterson’s kitchen cabinet is now on display at the Forks Timber Museum. Thanks to some refinishing the cabinet looks like the day it was delivered to Winnie over 100 years ago. Winnie Ford married Ely Peterson in 1882. She had been born in Indiana in 1866 and came to the West End with her family in September of 1870. She died in June of 1951. The cabinet was donated to the museum by Jack and Eve Datisman. Photo Christi Baron

The Forks Timber Museum not only tells the story of our local logging heritage it also tells the stories of farming, and other activities that have taken place over the last 100-plus years.

This year the annual Hickory Shirt – Heritage Days celebration will be COVID impacted and most activities will take place at the Museum grounds.

The Timber Museum will offer FREE admission Wednesday – Sunday.

Saturday’s activities include an 11 a.m. truck convoy through town. At noon come and enjoy some sawing demonstrations. Spinners and knitters will be inside the museum throughout the day.

Come meet the new Museum Director Bryon Monohon and buy a few raffle tickets and maybe become a Timber Museum member?
