Reviews
This museum & interpretive center stands at the end of this amazing 2000 mile long historic Oregon trail, which started all the way from Missouri and ended in Oregon City.
The visit through the center itself could take a few hours through the three sections, each depicting a wagon from the outside. But it’s worth taking a short stroll along the outside. Coming out of the visitor center & gift shop, take right turns all the way around and keep continuing along towards the garden and main street side and you’ll get to the historic marker, designated end of the Oregon Trail, which is marked by two monuments. There are several flowers and herbs grown in the garden which are varieties the pioneers brought with them across the Oregon Trail.
There is plenty of parking and there was no lines for entry to the museum. There was a private event going on in the garden side while we visited. Apparently there are outdoor concerts and events happening here especially during the Summer months.
This is a really cool place to learn some Oregon history. The park is nice and has a garden of native plants. I enjoyed my walk through it.
Great place to go for music in the park during the summer months. It is packed every week. There is an area in front of the stage that you can dance. They have a food vendors area. And flush bathrooms ( lines can be long) as well as port a pottys. Great place to meet up with friends and enjoy the music!
Nice Park for Outdoor Concerts & Events, such as weekly Music in the Park and OC Art Festival during summer. Museum and interpretive center has some interesting stuff to look at as well as unique historical books for sale
We stopped by here on a Sunday around 5:30pm and walked around and took pictures. The visitor center closes at 5pm on Sunday, so we didn’t get to go inside, but it was still neat to walk around outside. I grew up playing the Oregon Trail in school so I was excited to visit the site. Would recommend stopping here if you are close by!
The visitor center and gift shop was full of free maps and posters of Oregon which I loved. Lots of nice gifts to buy too. The museum is extensive with lots of cool artifacts and hands-on activities, such as making a candle, petting a real stuffed bison, and making a rag doll. The movie theater was showing two movies. We watched one of them and it was pretty interesting. The staff there was knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions.
Great interactive museum that tells the amazing stories of the pioneers and indigenous people of the area. I highly recommend visiting if in the Portland area.
Great fun, plenty of room to sit, shade or sun. Beer sold and allowed to drink on site. Food available, check for live music during certain dates, clean fun for all. Family friendly...
