Mount Saint Helens Creation Center, History museum in Castle Rock, US
The Mount Saint Helens Creation Center is a history museum in Castle Rock that examines geological formations and the processes that shape landscapes. The exhibits display layers and rock structures as they appear in the region surrounding the volcano.
The museum began in 1998 as Seven Wonders Creation Museum and relocated to Castle Rock in 2017 under new direction. This move brought it closer to Mount St. Helens and allowed it to expand its visitor reach.
The center presents how Mount St. Helens shapes local understanding of Earth's history through different interpretive frameworks. Visitors encounter two distinct perspectives on nature that coexist in this region's worldview.
The museum is located on Front Avenue Northwest in Castle Rock and operates Monday through Saturday. Plan to spend a few hours walking through the exhibits and displays at your own pace.
One striking display shows how 200 distinct rock layers formed in just a few hours. This presentation offers a perspective rarely found in most other museums.
