Mason County Historical Society Museum
Paul Bunyan and Babe are joining Mason County
Historical Society!
Shelton icons Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox are finding a new home with Mason County Historical Society. Twenty foot tall Paul Bunyan has been a Shelton resident since 1957 when he was displayed outside Binger Brother’s gas station on 1st street. Since that time Paul has been through several owners and numerous restorations and has been a regular attraction at the annual Forest Festival. Paul’s companion Babe was purchased through fund raising efforts by former owner Lloyd Prouty in 2011. We are very excited to be the new owners of Paul and Babe and are asking for the community’s support. This month we are kicking off a fund raiser to help with the cost of purchase, repairs, and maintenance of our dynamic duo. Those who donate $100 or more will receive a certificate stating that they are an official supporter of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox and the Mason County Historical Society.
