We are a fun and interactive historical museum of the old west. Our carefully curated exhibits are authentic and rare - depicting our earliest settlers and their lives. Our annex building houses an interactive walk-through area telling the lumber mill history in Prineville. Upstairs we have replicas of a doctor's office, a typical dining room, and a bedroom; all filled with original local artifacts. Kids love the interactive stations.
