Most viewed - Bend, Oregon - High Desert Museum

Mattox Family RV724 viewsIn reality, an Oregon Trail Conestoga wagon. This example had the equivalent for its time of what today would be a flat tire. (Actually this is just the museum's way of making it harder to steal.).

Hard-Rock Mine722 viewsNot a cafe.

Boom Town719 viewsNew settlements sprang up in support of the mining boom of the mid-19th-century. This one is called Silver City.

Bigelow Burrows717 viewsBigelow's job was to demonstrate his digging prowess by tunneling through the dirt blocking the exit from the glass box. Note: I'm just making up these animal names; I don't remember what their real names are.

Mattox Summer Home715 viewsChuck Mattox proudly welcomes us to his luxurious new summer residence in the High Desert.

Fur Fort Warehouse713 viewsI don't remember the purpose of the large machine at the right, nor do I know why they would need a cannon, other than to fend off the aggressive, greedy and belligerent American Yankees (this was the era of "Fifty-four forty or fight").

Blurry Badger710 viewsA bungled zoom shot of Bigelow the Badger as he circles back for another round of burrowing. (Couldn't change the settings quickly enough to get the right ISO and shutter speed.)

The Cowboys are the Indians706 viewsI know, they're not Indians, they're Native Americans. Regardless, many of them went into the ranching business and became rather successful at it.

Assay Office Accoutrements705 viewsThis appears to represent an office where mining claims were evaluated and their worth assessed, so that the office owner could falsify their value and buy them up for a song and a dance.

Business as Usual704 viewsA home office of the nineteenth century West, featuring a sewing machine, drafting desk and wood stove instead of a computer and microwave oven.

The Dizzying Heights704 viewsQuestion now is, how do we get him to come back down? Even if he wants to, will he be able? I don't think the FIre Department will come to his rescue...

Gert the Grey Fox703 viewsA tree-climbing fox who was hired by the Museum in 2020 and has proven to be a big draw.
