    We made a pit stop here to Del Norte County Historical Society as one of our last stops of our…read moreCrescent City stay. This small, unassuming building was quite a welcome surprise for the sheer number of historical items it houses within its seemingly small walls. Starting from Native American artifacts, clothing and artifacts from the pioneer days, down to WWII uniforms and armaments. This historical museum houses quite an extensive collection of California history, all categorized and grouped neatly by era and type. Despite the emptiness of the parking lot in the rear as we entered at the early morning hours shortly after they opened, the inside was already busy with a lot of foot traffic of tourist and historical enthusiasts alike. And in addition to the historical significance of the various items on display, the building itself was quite significant as well. As it used to be the former town Hall of Records back during its construction in 1926, as well as the Sherriff's Office and County Jail. You can still see remnants of the jail on the 2nd floor, where the former women's section of the jail is still intact. Highly recommend giving this spot a visit if you're either staying in Crescent City, or even just passing through. Shouldn't take more than 30-45 minutes out of your day, but is definitely time well spent!

    Very personable staff and definitely worth the donation. Could have spent a long time looking…read morethrough each exhibit. It had so many donations in the exhibits that it did seem cluttered, but it is greatly appreciated to see such items from around the town.

    I went in for free and did Virtual Reality for the first time in this museum. It was so weird, I…read morewent in an elevator and looked at a bunch of rooms.

It's a relatively small space that consists of 2 large gallery spaces, plus a little bit within the entrance area, and all situated within SOU's Art School campus. There's some nice less formal displays within those buildings as well. A voluntary donation of $5 is requested at a "free will" box at the entrance to the museum. We happened upon the "Fighting Men: Golub, Voulkos, Kirby" Exhibition. Most interesting were the various comic book displays by Jack Kirby and Leon Golub's cautionary paintings that depict the violence stemming from political power gone awry. Bridging this gap are Peter Voulkos' powerful ceramic pieces. You can easily (and slowly) spend up to ~30 minutes here. I would also recommend entering and leaving the Museum on the University side, just so you can enjoy wandering around this pretty campus.

    Applegate Trail Interpretive Center - Exterior of the Museum...may not look like a modern museum from the outside, but it is a MUST SEE for local history.

    This is definitely worth a stop. I didn't really want to go, but my daughter was interested so we…read moremade it happen. Its AWESOME and so worth the stop. The man tending the place performed an original song first for us. Displays are very high quality. The story is compelling. The price is incredibly reasonable. The story of the Applegate Trail was really something else. What a terrible year to break trail - the same year the Donner Party had such trouble. Its worth a stop. They don't allow photography indoors, so I can't share what I saw. Go see for yourself!

    We saw the sign at exit 71 on the I-5 (14 miles north of Grants Pass, Oregon) for a covered bridge…read moreand decided to see this local treasure. Covered bridges are not very common in the West. As we approached the bridge, we saw a sign for this Museum, and decided to stop in. This was the highlight of today's sightseeing! We were greeted by Dennis Gaustad. This museum is clearly a labor of love by Dennis and his sister Betty. Dennis personally greeted us, and had us sit and gave us a lecture on the history of the migration along the Applegate Trail. Dennis knows his history and clearly loves sharing it with others. We were amazed by how professional all the displays were in the museum. Many of the artifacts were locally found, and were on display courtesy of this brother and sister team. One of the displays was a 8 minute film produced by Betty, and professionally acted by locals, giving a enlightening representation of local history related to the Applegate Trail migration. Dennis clearly wants to preserve the local history, and is passionate about it. Sadly, several people came in and refused to pay a modest $5-6 entrance fee and left. They missed out on a fabulous display of local history. This museum is a treasure in this region of Oregon, and I encourage anyone interested in how the West (particularly Oregon) was settled, to stop in here and bask in the history proudly displayed here. This is the very best small museum I have ever seen. A definite MUST SEE.
