Sandy Area Historical Museum

Reviewed By Weberrider - Sandy, United States

Loved this museum in downtown Sandy, great displays and local history of the area and PNW. The volunteers there are very helpful, and knowledgeable of not only the display pieces but of the area history as well. The displays change from time to time I hear, so will come back again later this year when we have nothing to do ... Enjoy!!

North American Bigfoot Center

Reviewed By carolecI5190RT

We visited actually with four adult family members right after the re-opening from the Covid-19 closure. (Protocols were all in place) During two different visits in the same week we experienced a nice visit with both Cliff and Melissa. The museum has a lot of interesting evidence in both the gift shop and the actual museum. I especially enjoyed the video and audio exhibits and all of the casts. There were so many foot and hand casts from all over. The merchandise in the gift shop included something for everyone and is some of the best I've seen. Prices very reasonable as well.

Mt Hood Cultural Center and Museum

Reviewed By S49M - Portland, United States

Another couple joined us to visit this small museum hidden away in the heart of Government Camp on Mt. Hood. Their exhibits run the gamut from early Euro-American settlement in the area, to fine arts and historic photographs, to Forest Service management, to Steiner cabins, to the history of ski clubs surrounding Mt. Hood, among others. We've visited a few times in the past and were disappointed that their room with the excellent exhibits displaying the history of skiing, snow shoeing, and sledding equipment was closed during this visit. The Museum also has a small gift shop. Although there is no entry fee, I encourage visitors to leave a donation to help them continue their fine work and grow their collections.

Here is a trip down memory lane - a great little Museum right off of Highway 99E in Canby. Lots of railroad memorabilia and artifacts from the history of Canby - all in a railroad depot setting.
