So glad we made this stop. Within a few minutes of arriving, Gary arrived and gave us a very thorough history, along with many personal stories. Much of the museum is maintained by volunteers (former jumpers, or their family), so its small but passionate. We stayed for ~1.5 hours, with a small gift store selection at the end of the tour with a donation box.

We learned so much. It is a shame they ended this part of fire fighting.  It is clear we wouldn't have the devastating fires we have now if we were still sending the smoke jumpers in early like they used to.

Thank you Mr. Gary Joe Buck, a former real smoke jumper, for the personalized tour! Very informative and countless anecdotes made the tour so much fun. One of a kind. Good for kids and adults.

A truly fantastic history of the smokejumpers, complete with original buildings and original machinery and suits they used.

Saw this on the map whilst on a road trip - it was right off the highway & we decided to turn in.

What a great little museum - I never knew about smoke jumpers until this very visit! Plenty of photos & actual kits & equip to see. Wish I had more time there!

We just wondered around for self-guided tour but the volunteer (former smoke jumper) was more than happy to guide/answer questions/share his experience.

Admission is free, they have souvenirs on sale & a donation box. Do donate if you can & support this place of great historical value (I'm not from the USA & loved it!)
