Museums
Westwood Museum
311 Ash St. 96137
530/256-2233
The Red River Lumber Company, was once the largest pine lumber mill in the world and the main user of the rail-trail that now offers recreation to many(see BizzJohnson Trail). Stop in at the Westwood Museum to see photos of the
company's mill, the town and the Fernley and Lassen Branch Railroad. Formed in 1914 to carry lumber from Westwood to the Southern Pacific main line at Fernley, Nevada, the Fernley and Lassen Railroad was the key transportation link that made the lumber company's mill in Westwood possible. The mill
gradually declined and the railroad branch closed in 1956. Abandoned for 20 years, 25 miles of the railroad bed were then reborn as the Bizz Johnson Trail. It's best to call to confirm hours of this all-volunteer museum.
