Overpack exhibited his big wheels at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. He shipped them via railroad to other states and foreign countries. In Michigan at least 65 different lumber companies used them. The big wheels were part of Michigan logging history from 1875, when Overpack made his first set, until 1920. Visitors to the museum's gallery see a set of big wheels that is 10 feet high.
Visitors can also try pulling a smaller scale model of the big wheels.
Big wheels can also be seen at the Hartwick Pines Lumbering Museum near Grayling.
