The Museum at Warm Springs

The Museum at Warm Springs is a building that tells the story of the Native peoples who lived in this region through multiple gallery spaces. Inside, visitors find exhibits with artifacts, photographs, murals, and historical documents that bring to life the experiences of the Wasco, Warm Springs, and Paiute communities.

The museum was established in 1993 as a place to preserve and share the history of the Native peoples in the region. This founding allowed the Wasco, Warm Springs, and Paiute communities to tell their own stories and control how their heritage is presented.

The exhibits show the traditions and stories of the Wasco, Warm Springs, and Paiute people through objects and historical photographs displayed throughout the galleries. Visitors see how these communities have kept their cultural practices alive and what skills and crafts were central to their lives.

The building is easy to navigate and most visitors can see all the exhibits comfortably in a few hours at a relaxed pace. Wear comfortable shoes if you plan to explore the outdoor trails and amphitheater area on the grounds.

The grounds feature an outdoor amphitheater and walking trails along a creek, allowing visitors to connect with the natural landscape surrounding the building. This blend of indoor galleries and outdoor space creates a complete experience that ties the history to the land where these communities actually lived.
