The museum had 1 exhibit most Museum's have there normal exhibits and a rotating exhibit. Feel like they are under using their space.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Matthew Westra · Apr 2025

Not much there, but still worth a stop. Free. Currently, there's a traveling exhibit about the history and significance of wine making in Oregon, and a display of local kids' art products. Jim, the staff person, was interesting and informative.

★★★★★ 5.0 Sam Black · May 2023

Cute little museum with good local history. Art gallery upstairs with a stage was fun with the kid. Beautiful building.

★★★★★ 5.0 Thomas Strasburger · Jul 2025

Great place to do local research. The staff were very helpful finding historical documents I was looking for. The collection is well organized, so we found what we were looking for, and more, relating to my family's property in the early 1900s, in just a few hours. We found a photograph of the house my great great uncle built, and its location. Their Camperdown elms are still growing on the property, though the house was torn down years ago. Highly recommend.
