The World Forestry Center in Portland commemorates its legacy and connection to the 'Twin Peaks' series through a new exhibit honoring Catherine Coulson, known for her role as the Log Lady. Incorporating elements of both local history and pop culture, the exhibition draws parallels between the character's tragic backstory and the Center's revival after the destruction of the original Forestry Building in 1964. Visitors are welcomed by a cardboard cutout of the Log Lady and can view various mementos from the show, highlighting the enduring impact of both Coulson and the Center's mission to celebrate forestry and its history.
Often overlooked for flashier Washington Park attractions-like the zoo, the Japanese Garden, even Hoyt Arboretum-World Forestry Center still works to draw visitors to its woodsy, lodge-like Discovery Museum.
The character's story actually bears a poetic parallel to the World Forestry Center's rise from the ashes as Lanterman's lumberjack husband was killed in a fire, a tragedy from which she salvaged a log that becomes her source of insight.
