Holy cow, that would have been an interesting thing to have nearby! I went to school in Ann Arbor
and there was no museum of that sort in the area in the 1970's.

MUSEUM PIECE: This Climax logging locomotive arrived here yesterday and was sidetracked at the Ann Arbor Railroad depot prior to delivery to Northwood Enterprises, an Ann Arbor corporation which is building the nation's first "live" museum of the logging industry. The museum will be on 65-acre tracts on Seven Mile Rd. near Whitmore Lake in Northfield township. This locomotive will carry museum visitors to various installations.
