A. R. Bowman Memorial Museum, Memorial museum in Prineville, United States.
The A. R. Bowman Memorial Museum occupies a Romanesque building constructed with local volcanic basalt blocks, featuring bronze teller cages and marble countertops.
The museum opened in 1971 when the Bowman family donated the former Crook County Bank building, which dates back to 1910.
The museum houses pioneer artifacts, railroad exhibits, ranching displays, and a research library containing 700 books focused on Oregon history.
The museum operates daily during summer months and five days per week from fall through spring at the corner of Third and Main Street.
The building earned recognition in 1912 for having interior finishes superior to any non-railroad city in the United States.
