Most viewed - Bend, Oregon - High Desert Museum

Bigelow Burrows451 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.

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.

The Real Mattox Residence449 viewsChuck and Elouise Mattox's exquisite house in Bend, Oregon. Note the weeping cedar tree just to the right of center - one of my favorite features of the property.

Native American Patriots in WWII447 views"Nearly one-third of Indian men served in the military, while another quarter worked in war industries. Indian women participated in the war effort by joining auxiliaries and finding employment in factories." ...

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.

Pokey con-descends446 viewsHe did climb down from his perch nimbly and unaided, and now he munches contentedly on a treat while his buddy extolls his virtues and elucidates his lifestyle.

Surveyor's Wagon444 viewsFur trapping gave way to mining and other activities in the mid-1800s. This wagon appears to be a vehicle for a surveying expedition. Unfortunately, the surveyor apparently got lost and perished of hunger, thirst and exposure in the desert, or maybe was scalped by Indians, because he is nowhere to be seen.

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.

Hudson's Bay Co. Fur Trapper Camp442 viewsNote the Hudson's Bay Company flag at the left. For a while there was doubt about whether the Oregon Territory would become part of Canada or the USA. This was resolved by the USA threatening to invade Canada and seize everything up to 54 degrees and forty minutes north, then making the Canadians accept a "compromise" whereby the Americans got everything they really wanted in the first place.

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

Chipmunk Chicanery442 viewsMeanwhile, Alvin the Chipmunk sneaked in to steal the show from Pokey the Porcupine.

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