Interpretive Center

The Interpretive Center is named after Catherine T. Montgomery, a teacher, backpacker, and conservationist credited with having the initial concept for the Pacific Crest Trail. Step inside to learn about the Muckleshoot Tribe who are native to this area, and the Washington State Chapter of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, an organization of women's service clubs. In 1926, the group began a campaign to save some of our state's rapidly disappearing old-growth forests, leading to the establishment of Federation Forest. A native plant garden surrounds the interpretive center.

The center is open June through August on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to dusk. During April, May, September and October, the center is open on the weekends depending on weather conditions.
