Camp 6 Logging Museum

Point Defiance Park (5505 Five Mile Dr.)

Camp 6 Logging Museum is located on a 14-acre forested site inside Point Defiance Park. Established in 1964 by logging engineers, Camp 6 looks and feels like a logging operation with a replica of an operating railroad connecting the working sites with the bunk houses and bunk cars of the camp. As a National Registered Historic Place, Camp 6, with its historic buildings, more than 500 tons of "Fire Breathin', Steam Spewin' Iron Beasts" railroad equipment, is another great stop inside Point Defiance Park.

Santa Train - The Santa Train runs Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. through 4 p.m. on selected days in December every year. Visit www.camp-6-museum.org/c6.html for times and fares.

Camp 6 is operated for the benefit of the visiting public by the Tacoma Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. Fares from the museum's railroad operations and individual and corporate donations account for all funds used to operate, improve and maintain Camp 6. The staff is 100% volunteer.
