California - Timber Heritage Association

Eureka, CA - A developing museum and tourist railroad located in an 1893 lumber company roundhouse and shop complex. The complex is located in the former lumber company town of Samoa. The collection includes 9 local (redwood logging) logging locomotives and many other logging/timber artifacts.

The Timber Heritage Association (THA) is a volunteer based group whose purpose is to create awareness and appreciation for the impact of timber, logging, and railroads on the settlement and growth of Humboldt County.

To that effort THA is working to create a timber heritage and rail museum and develop a Humboldt Bay excursion train. The combined projects will not only impress on visitors and residents alike the tremendous role the timber industry has played in the history of California and the West, but also create a tourist destination and educational facility for all to enjoy.
