Camp 6 Logging Museum, Industrial heritage museum in Point Defiance Park, Tacoma, United States.

The museum occupies a 14-acre forest site featuring railroad tracks connecting multiple buildings and displaying 500 tons of logging equipment.

Established in 1964 by Western Forest Industries Museum Inc, the site operated until 2010 when funding depletion led to its closure.

The exhibitions demonstrate the methods and equipment of the Pacific Northwest logging industry through authentic machinery and reconstructed worker accommodations.

The museum collections were distributed among several institutions in Washington, Oregon, and California after its closure in 2010.

The Pacific Coast Shay Lima #3346 and Weyerhaeuser No.3 Lidgerwood Tower Skidder were relocated to the Roots of Motive Power Museum.
