Wayne also dreamed of opening a museum containing items such as photographs and artifacts from the local Mt. Baker Foothills Community. This museum is the Gerdrum Homestead, which was built out of one cedar tree and is located at the Silver Lake Park, Maple Falls, WA. This location includes a large field for a demonstration site of equipment displays and practices, from old school techniques to new technologies. BMFC draws tourists, including families and people of all ages, as well as student groups for extended classroom education. Woodcrafters are invited to sell wood products and demonstrate how they make the products that we all enjoy today. This opportunity can provide an income for displaced loggers and cottage industries that would benefit from the Black Mountain Forestry Center.
