Well worth the stop. When it rains in the gorge it really rains. This is the place to avoid the rain or dry out. See the exhibits enjoy the on site cafe and remember the beauty of the day. More

Right off the Interstate. This was a very pleasant visit. I'm very interested in the history of Oregon particularly the areas close to Northeast Oregon. Very informative and well set out. History just flowed. Enjoy! More

This museum is a gem. The displays on local history and economics are worth the stop alone. There is also a film on the geology and formation of the gorge. More
