Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center Museum
One section of this museum houses a full scale replica of a fishwheel – a huge rotating piece of equipment that stood in the river and scooped up thousands of spawning salmon to be shipped to canning houses. There’s also a 1921 logging truck and a steam engine from a sawmill. The rest of the museum has exhibits about the local history and people.
The museum is accessible. Both theaters have room for wheelchairs along the side of the regular seating. An outside area has old equipment which can be viewed from your vehicle as long as the road barriers aren’t in place. The gravel on the road is a little too loose for easy pushing.
The parking area has long spaces for buses or you can park across the car spaces. Gorge Museum
