Why Parents ♥ ItThe museum is located

End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive
Hank the
Buffalo
Just how big are
buffalo? And
why on earth
would children
on the Oregon
Trail gather their poop? These
are questions Hank the Buffalo
can answer for you, if you pet him
nicely!
Prairie
Schooner
The wagons
that brought
the pioneers
across the Trail
had to be sturdy
to survive the
2,000-mile trip! See for yourself in
the exhibit and consider what you
would have packed in them.
Land Claim
Office
This is where
pioneers had
to complete
the paperwork
to receive
640 acres of
free land — 1 whole square mile! This
is the main reason people
decided to cross the Oregon Trail.
Heritage Garden
This heritage garden
grows the kinds of
plants many pioneers
brought with them as
seeds or clippings. It

Master Gardeners

What’s
the
Weather?
Try giving
a weather
forecast!
There will
be three
scenes, including the five-day
forecast, “live” from the South
Jetty, and the regional conditions.
Why Don’t I Feel
Well?
Seasickness
certainly spoils
a perfectly fun
boating trip. It’s
really just motion
sickness, like
getting carsick or when you feel
queasy after a carnival ride.
U.S.S.
Knapp
Explore
the bridge
of the
U.S.S.
Knapp, a Fletcher-class destroyer.
After decommissioning, the entire

Families can also tour a
decommissioned floating
lightship.
Why Parents ♥ It“The initial displays of ships
with hands-on for the kids
was great. One display
goes into details of the
USCG rescue school and
boats, which was very
interesting. We had no idea
the Columbia River mouth
area was so dangerous. The
back half of the museum
was great to tie in the
history of navigation with
practical tools of shipping,
technology, etc. Kids loved
the FLIR display. Parents will
appreciate its ‘right size’.”
