The Texas Forestry Museum in Lufkin offers visitors an informative look into the history and importance of the forestry industry in East Texas. Visitors appreciate the well-maintained exhibits that showcase vintage logging equipment, tools, and machinery. The museum provides a good overview of how the forestry industry has evolved over time and its impact on the local economy and environment. Many guests find the outdoor exhibits, including the restored train engine and logging camp, particularly interesting. The museum is commended for its educational value, especially for school groups and those interested in local history. However, some visitors note that the museum is relatively small and can be explored in about an hour. While the content is engaging for those interested in forestry and local history, it may not appeal as much to those without a specific interest in the subject. The staff is generally described as friendly and knowledgeable. Overall, the Texas Forestry Museum offers a solid, if somewhat niche, museum experience that effectively tells the story of East Texas's forestry heritage.
