Morton is home to the Morton Loggers' Jubilee, the oldest
celebration of it's kind. Held the second weekend in August, it
features a parade, flea market, logging competition, street dance,
and lawnmower races.
Morton's Loggers' Memorial is dedicated to the men and women who
have given their lives in support of the logging communities of
Lewis County. Designed and built by Bob Collier of Glenoma, WA., it
reminds us of those that have gone before us doing what they loved
to do. They spent their lives working in and around the logging and
mills that have supported so many families in Eastern Lewis County.
Though the number of jobs has decreased drastically through the
years the timber industry is still the largest employer in the
area.
