About us

Our Mission

Friends of Twilight Forever is dedicated to the preservation of the authentic costumes and props on display at the Forever Twilight in Forks Collection and to provide access to fans for many years to come.

Our Story

In 2016, Prop Store announced it was auctioning off over 900 lots of Props and Costumes directly from the Twilight Saga production. Benefactor Jack Morrissey and Forks Chamber Executive Director Lissy Andros worked together to create a gallery to display the auction items so that fans from all over the world could come to Forks, Washington to experience not only the magic of the books, but the movies too. Jack went on to win many of the big-ticket auction items with the plan to display them for fans. In 2017, there was another auction and more items were added through Jack’s generosity. Many other fans have also donated or loaned their pieces/lots to us for the enjoyment of Twilight fans.

The Forever Twilight in Forks Collection is currently operated by the Forks Chamber of Commerce with the majority of exhibits owned by Friends of Twilight Forever.

Our Board of Directors

Our team is comprised of passionate fans, seasoned professionals, and dedicated volunteers who share a love for Twilight. Together, we work tirelessly to bring the world of Forks to life, ensuring every visitor leaves with a piece of the magic.
