The Ambajejus and Chesuncook boom houses are strategically located buildings that were used to operate a boom to help control the flow of logs to move them downriver for processing at mills. Boom houses also had a kitchen and bunks to accommodate the river drivers. The Ambajejus and Chesuncook boom houses serve as museums that are part of the West Branch Historical Preservation Committee.
