Located at the north end of a parking lot within the Collier Memorial State Logging Museum is a circular saw mounted on a wooden section of log that reads:
FROM BULL-TEAMS TO HELICOPTERS, FROM MISERY WHIPS TO CHAINSAWS AND TREE HARVESTING MACHINES, FROM WATER-POWERED CIRCULAR SAWS TO AUTOMATIC LASER-GUIDED BANDSAW MILLS, LOGGING WAS OREGON'S FIRST INDUSTRY AND REMAINS ONE OF OUR MOST IMPORTANT. AT NO OTHER PLACE IS THE HISTORY OF LOGGING AND THE TIMBER INDUSTRY KEPT SO VIBRANTLY ALIVE AS AT COLLIER MEMORIAL LOGGING MUSEUM. WE THANK THE COLLIER FAMILY FOR THEIR DONATION OF LAND AND THE MUSEUM'S FIRST LOGGING EQUIPMENT, THE MUSEUM STAFF, BOTH PROFESSIONAL AND VOLUNTEER FOR THEIR CONSTANT EFFORTS TO PRESERVE AND INTERPRET HISTORICAL LOGGING ARTIFACTS AND THE "FRIENDS OF COLLIER LOGGING MUSEUM" FOR THEIR RESEARCH AND CONTINUED SUPPORT.

This logging museum is definitely worth the time to explore and go back into history when logging was in its heyday.
