As you wander through the heart of Shelton, you’ll see how the community grew alongside the Simpson Logging Company and the hardworking people who made Mason County thrive. From elegant Revival-style homes to sturdy commercial buildings that rose from the ashes of early fires, every stop along the tour offers a glimpse into the creativity, craftsmanship, and resilience that defined the early 1900s. Be sure to stop by the Mason County Historical Museum before or after your walk — it’s a great place to dive deeper into the area’s logging heritage and see photos, artifacts, and stories that bring Shelton’s past to life. While you’re there, you can also pick up a printed brochure with the same walking tour details (and a handy map!) to take along as you explore. So, lace up your walking shoes, take your time, and enjoy a stroll through Shelton’s living history! |
