More stories than you knew! Great View!
This isn't just any museum. The view looks over Willamette Falls, 18th largest in the world. In the winter it's awe-inspiring. The museum has changing exhibits with the End of the Oregon Trail Center at the other end of town. There are great Native American artifacts, petroglyphs, a piece of the Willamette Meterorite and a reconstructed 19th century pharmacy. Industrial history, settlement of the West, tribal stories and more can all be found here. There's a great library to research family history. And admission is all part of the Historic Oregon City pass.
