Dufur, OR
We are dedicated to preserving information about life in the Pacific Northwest at the turn of the the 20th century. Our goals are to save what we can of the memories, the know-how that existed then. We want our children to be able to appreciate how far we've come, and for the memories of those who've gone before us to be honored. Our museum displays include a log cabin, schoolhouse, cook-shack and antique farming equipment.
Open seasonally, May thru September. Wed-Sat 10-5. Call (541) 467-2205 for more information.

Recently voted #12 Top Fan-Favorite Destination in Oregon! This multimedia, interactive museum inspires appreciation and stewardship of the natural and cultural treasures of the Gorge and Wasco County. Exhibits focus on the volcanic upheaval and raging floods that created the Gorge, the unique flora and fauna of the region, and eleven thousand years of cultural history.
Collections include hundreds of American Indian baskets from throughout the Pacific Northwest, photo archives (partially available on-line), and local genealogical files available in the William G. Dick Library. In addition to touring the many fascinating exhibits, visitors can spend time viewing films in the theater located on site, or walking the native plant trail. Spend the whole day and relax for lunch or coffee break at the Basalt Rock Cafe.
