To designate the Maine Forest and Logging Museum, located in Bradley, Maine, as the National Museum of Forestry and Logging History.

# Summary of HR 2258 **What the Bill Does:** This bill would give the Maine Forest and Logging Museum in Bradley, Maine an official national designation as the "National Museum of Forestry and Logging History." This is largely a symbolic honor that recognizes the museum's importance and its role in preserving the history of forestry and logging in the United States. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily benefit the museum itself, which could gain increased visibility and prestige from the national designation. It could potentially help with tourism and funding opportunities.

The broader public would benefit from recognition of an important part of American industrial and environmental history. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill remains in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. Congressman Jared Golden, a Democrat from Maine's 2nd district, sponsored the bill.
