Take a walk on the rural side!
Visit us Tuesday-Saturday, May-October
Our national award-winning museum is all about Sherman County; our history and our community. We tell the stories of Rural Living when the county was young. We honor our Military Men and Women in a special section of the museum dedicated to their service. We curate three interpretive exhibits: Oregon Trails, Rails and Roads in Sherman County, Wheat through the Ages, and Cultivation, Conservation, & Clothespins. We house the historic Sherman County Journal: Paper, Ink & Presses, which is the full layout of printing presses and equipment that was used to print our local newspaper. We familiarize you with Renewable Energy in Sherman County, a growing industry. We celebrate locals who have given so much of themselves for our community; our sheriffs, local donors, founding benefactors, etc.
We promote community participation with our Community Collection Showcase, which spotlights a community member’s collection and has it on display. New to the museum, a collaboration with community members to display their collection of Biggs Picture Jasper. If you love rocks, you will enjoy their stunning collection! So we invite you to join us and take a walk on the rural side!
