Scope and content
Point Defiance Park. Aerial view on July 1, 1969, of Camp Six, located in Point Defiance Park. Carved out of the dense forests of Point Defiance Park is the 14-acre Camp Six Museum. The circular track seen above had just been finished and the Old Number 7 Shay locomotive was preparing to offer rides to the public. Established by logging engineers in 1964 as a means to educate people on the state's logging era and preserve the industry's rich history, the Camp Six is still open 36 years after the above picture was taken. Photograph ordered by Geoduck Publishing Co.
