Bend, Oregon - High Desert Museum

Boom Town474 viewsNew settlements sprang up in support of the mining boom of the mid-19th-century. This one is called Silver City.

Silver City storefronts424 viewsShop facades on the main street of Silver City. The second floor, of course, houses a brothel.

Business as Usual443 viewsA home office of the nineteenth century West, featuring a sewing machine, drafting desk and wood stove instead of a computer and microwave oven.

Mattox Winter Home505 viewsChuck and Elouise's sybaritic winter home in Bend, complete with two-wagon garage. (Actually it depicts an upscale residence of the 19th-century Silver City boom town.)

Gert the Grey Fox442 viewsA tree-climbing fox who was hired by the Museum in 2020 and has proven to be a big draw.

Fortunate Fox468 viewsAlthough foxes are members of the Canid family, they share many of the traits of cats, such as the propensity to sleep all day. Gert thinks it's pretty cool to be able to make her living doing almost nothing.

A Prickly Character441 viewsPokey the Porcupine, Gert the Grey Fox's next-door neighbor. We met up with him again later.

A Giant Beaver Exhibit405 viewsThe Beaver exhibit includes a table devoted to a 220-pound beaver, Castoroides ohioensis, who went extinct 10,000 years ago. Modern beavers are grateful they don't have to compete with this behemoth.

Beaver Behemoth450 viewsCastoroides was one of many megafauna to roam North America in the Pleistocene, sharing the landscape with mammoths, mastodons, and saber-tooth cats, who wound up gobbling up so many of the Castoroides that both went extinct.

Contemplating the fate of Castoroides446 viewsSandie laments the extinction of the giant beaver Castoroides, thinking it might have provided her with a fine fur coat in its heyday, and wondering if we're next.

High Desert Housing480 viewsA traditional Native American tipi, in front of a regular reservation house of the type that replaced it.

Mattox Summer Home485 viewsChuck Mattox proudly welcomes us to his luxurious new summer residence in the High Desert.
