Located south of historic downtown Bend between Wall and Bond Streets, the Deschutes Historical Museum is home to the Deschutes County Historical Society. Inside the hundred-year-old Reid School building, exhibits celebrate the stories of life in the high desert country—the traditional homelands of the Molalla, Warm Springs, Wasco, Paiute, and Klamath peoples. From the early attraction of outdoor recreation and roadside tourism to a time when irrigation, the railroad, and lumber mills created new cities and towns during the early 20th century, visitors to the museum will discover the rich and unique history of this area—a living legacy that grows with each new generation. Put some history in your future.
