Reviews of End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center

Debbie Fehr

My kids said this was their favorite place we’ve visited on our road trip! They absolutely loved the hands on exhibits- their favorite was the HUGE wall of dress up items (freshly laundered every day I was told) and playing school. There was even chalk and slates. Lots of history, signs, a good documentary to watch and a gift shop. Highly recommend

My mom and I visited here since we both enjoy history. It was fun for both of us. The museum has a couple of easy hands on crafts making a candle, doll and journal. These crafts along with the short movie put a more personal experience on the whole thing.

Sarah Weedin

Nice to walk around and read the signs. Fun little activity to do on a sunny day with the family. The signs have cool information and shows lots of facts/people involved in Oregon Trail. Really awesome adventure to take 4th grader as the study the Oregon Trail in school. Sad that the center was closed. Would love to come back when it is open.

Paldi Homes (Merin Paldi)

Nice and quiet today but has lots to see. Clearly a ton of history, a stage for concerts in the summer, a garden and across the street from Amtrak and Coaster Crossing. Has an interpretive center that is staffed with knowledgeable humans.

Dave Grall

Great venue. Went to the Oregon City brewfest - good beer, food carts and music. Really fun event!

Squiffy Bumbo

It was informative and enlightening, and didn't shy away from educating about the racism in Oregon's history.

Chakravarthy Gladwin

Worthy of a visit. The exhibits are well displayed and do watch both film documentaries at the end. They provide the needed balance in perspective of a history that like anywhere is messy when you have migrants and native people's together in a place! The cost is $15 per adult and I would recommend for all migrants to the Americas.

K H

Great outing with my kids school. Would have given 5 stars except I witnessed one interaction between a staff member and a disabled child in a wheelchair that was disheartening. Learning to interact with those that are disabled exactly the same way you do with those who are able bodied, is something that needs to be taught to those who work in a place that offers recreational education to the public.

Becky Brandsen

9 year old daughter loves this place! Lots of dress up and pretend play. Make your own candles, fun takeaways. Educational fun place. Check out the pass from the local library and get in for free!

Iris

This place is wonderful not a soul there besides animals. The museum is not open which is a bummer, but it is wonderful for a picnic and mini walk. The only thing is that we saw one homeless person.

Brian Ellsworth

Not the best museum I've been to. It seemed like the exhibit space was a jumble of stuff offered together without a lot of context, though the video presentation did provide some of the context the exhibits did not. I especially appreciated the video about the indigenous peoples of the area. Regardless of the flaws, I appreciate any museum that tries to preserve and present the past.

TaMara Edens

This was so fun! They have many crafts to do in the museum and period clothes you can wear. I definitely will be back.

Russell Petersen

Friendly workers and two excellent movies. Exhibits had realistic or actual artifacts and good signage. Felt very sorry for the treatment of first nation's people but hope for the Grande Ronde nation.

Lindsey Dumire

This museum helps bring the personal stories to light. There is a lot of reading (should you want) but also a great short film, candle making, and a warm host at the front door who is very educated and ready to share history. It's an easy visit and doesn't have to be long, should you want to just glance through things. I do recommend reading a bit though, as that is where the stories are.

Rachel Harris

I'm so glad we were able to visit! The center is open and has a lot of interactive things for kids to do. Our favorite was dressing up and packing a wagon full of supplies in the general store. The other crafts and activities were fun too.

Terry Pendergast

A large beautiful shaded parking lot. A good spot to wait or rest. Good place for kiddos. All the port-a-potties were padlocked shut.

Kathy Dechastain

Enjoyed it very much. Grandkids still a bit young but liked it. Great video, we need to do better with our Native brothers & sisters.

Andrew and Morgan McAllister

We were pretty impressed by this place. Definitely a great spot for kids. We made rag dolls and dipped candles. We felt the movie was more dramatic than informative but the room you go into after was full of interesting exhibits.

Michael M

Google says they are closed on Sunday but glad we went because they are definitely open 10am-5pm. It was a good experience to relearn about the history of the Oregon Trail.

Donald McCollum

The museum has always been a place I love to take my kids every few years I recommend to anyone who has never gone

Anita Shuler

The End of the Oregon Trail has a wonderful museum and beautiful grounds. This venue also hosts the annual the Oregon City Festival of the Arts on the 2nd weekend of August. The art show features photography, paintings, woodwork, jewelry, ceramics and more. Food vendors and live music add to the festival atmosphere.

Jason S

A low-key and somewhat dated (pun intended) venue, interesting and worth the stop, even if only once. For the museum, conveying the historical information is primary goal (not entertainment) and comes by way of indoor exhibits (some of them activity-based for kids), many placards, a modest 25-minute mixed-media movie and some points of interest in the surrounding grounds. Some outdoor event stages apparently provide concerts, depending on the sason. If you are not already familiar with the Oregon Trail history, this museum will help put you in better touch with the legacy of the area.

Ashley Scott

Came here for my birthday for a brewfest in July and it was just awesome! To see a part of history is and read up on The Oregon Trail was educational and not to mention drinking beer while doing all this just add a touch of fun that makes the experience worth while.

Tarrie Gibson

It was fun with little stories of a few past community members including a holographic John Mcloughlin telling his story.There could have been more info on the historical community and the area or more on the famies travelings experiences as well but was mostly the oregon trail experience it's self, understandably given the name the end of the oregon trail.Was very insightful to the past experiences of woman who were at the mercy of men and or the elements of being left behind in some cases even.Plus remembring people died and babies were born and survival was what they all longed for at the end😊Cool stuff to see .

Jessi Maurer (Lucky Hook Farm)

We visited for over two hours because there was so much to see and do. The movie was awesome and the staff was very knowledgeable and helpful too. Loved it!

Rita R

this is a great place to visit to learn more about Oregon City history and about the early settlers to the West Coast in general. There's a lot to see and many hands on activities for young children and adults such as candle making and doll making. The surrounding area is very pretty and a nice place to walk and enjoy nature.

Scott Haas

A nice museum to visit that has a focus on the end of the Oregon trail, as the name would indicate. My wife and I visited a museum at the beginning of the trail so it was a nice bookend to visit this one. The exhibits give a nice general overview of the trail and information on some local history but there wasn't a lot of depth. It's kind of a small museum. Granted, we visited in late February so there were no outside activities, if they have any.

Laurie Kemhus

Great hands ON adventure. All ages will learn something new about the wagon train trips to Oregon.

Michelle Morley

It's currently closed due to Covid but you can walk around the grounds and read the placards. Interesting history. Cool design for buildings.

Jane Carman

Friendly staff. Some wonderrful finds in store from art to foods and gift items with a regional theme. Clean with lots of parking and places to rest. Beautiful grounds and educational. Thanks.

Roy Leigh

Very cool place about the history of the Oregon Trail. Lots of activities for kids.

Laura Bocko

So fun and interactive for my three-year-old

Phrawoody Vutthiyano-Phiku

The story never ending

Michele Zeller

Great information. Interesting to learn more about the migration of settlers.

Jason Guthrie

Closed on Saturday. Looking through windows did not seem interesting. Nice park for events.

Gail Fatum

The 25 minute movie was worth it, especially if you are a history buff.

Gbob Sith

Very educational, little disorganized, but tolerable

Sam Bezzant

This is am exceptionally cool museum and grounds.

charlie sliwoski

This was a fun little park with small gardens and interpretive areas with information about the history of the trail and the area. There is a large indoor center which was not open when we were there. Free if you are just walking the grounds. If you are walking around, be sure to take the trail below and behind the building for more fun displays.

Tammy Fancher

Great Concert Venue! Parking lot is smallish, but there is auxiliary parking nearby.

Miyagi Fpv

Always nice spot to chill on a lunch break.

Elaine Nowak

Interesting and fun. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful. Lots to look at and learn.

Wendy Bragg

My husband's band played a show at recovery Rock fest 🤘

Laura Kessler

Great historical information. Had fun!

Deborah Hull

My friends and I were lucky enough to show up yesterday on a free day as they had an event going on with lots of hands-on learning, demonstrations, and outdoor happenings. There were plenty of volunteers dressed up for the event and it was really great to see that. All in all, this was great fun and I recommend this interpretive center for anyone. Keep an eye out for events to get a little extra in your day!

Sylvia Drill

The tour was very informative and Richard was fabulous in his descriptive explanations. The house has been beautifully maintained and preserved. The building is stunning. Such a rich history of the beginnings of Oregon and how it became part of the United States instead of a Canadian Province. I will be back again. Only open Friday and Saturday and tours are 10:15 and hourly until 4:15. It's worth the trip.

Tony Novak

Great field trip...the students and staff/chaperones loved it. Interesting with hands-on activities. We were a little confused about where to go/how to proceed. It would be nice if we had specific instructions for arrival. Someone greeted us, but the groups didn't know where to go. All-in-all, a great experience!

Daniel Birch

Such a fun place. Totally worth going to. You get to make a candle, rag doll and a little notebook that you can take home. Kids loved it. There is also a dress up area with small and big clothes so the whole family can dress up together:-) movie theater and hands on area with animal pelts, Lincoln Logs, and some other fun activities. You should totally go:-)

Clarence Bennett

Great ending to my Oregon Trail adventure. A must see and worth the entry fee.

Red Cossack

A great looking place outside. I gave it only 3 stars because they are not open during this time. I realize this is a tough time and at the same time I encourage them to do what it takes to defy the odds and open up.

Stephanie Sage

Interesting place. It would have been great for my daughter (3 1/2 year old). They have lots of things to read and look at all having to do with starting the Oregon trail, during the trip, and what people did once they got to Oregon. You can pack your own wagon and make your own candles. The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. They will give you a tour or leave you alone if you want to wander and read. The gift store has good snacks and their restrooms are clean. I liked that there are lots of other things in this area to do and see. Ask the gift store and they will give you a map.

Karl Pfalzgraff

So much history in such a beautiful place

David Dobson

I only spent about 30 minutes here, but I really liked it. I learned more about the trails and tribulations of the Oregon Trail and the folks who traveled it then I knew there was to learn. And standing under the trees at the historic park, having just seen the water falls by the old paper mill, and reading about the lives of the people who settled there, I felt as if I was there too. But much safer.

Sarah Davis

Great outside tour, lots of wonderful information. Our daughter got to take part in reinacting portions of the Oregon trail which captivated her for an hour, even at 8 years old. She even got to make and eat butter during the tour, which she still talks about. Just plan for enough time to see and do it all.

r “NW hiker” hamlet

Wonderful for learning oregon history and great place for a picnic or dog walk.

Daniel Carey

Love the park music had issues, looking forward to some Blues on the 25th.

Kenneth Martin

Thanks place was a lot of fun. Went on my 10yr old daughter field trip. Fun to take your kids. It's only a couple hours long. It's partially outside, so if it's cold outside dress appropriately.

Indy

Went for the Oregon City National Night Out, and suffice to say I was enamored by the decor. The park itself is smaller than some parks I've seen, but it has lots of open space. The trails provide great informational guides and tools to remind you of the parks namesake. I would've liked to have seen more trash/recycling bins, and more things to entertain the children.

Carol Raymond

I learned a lot about the history of the area.

Jack Chellew

Can't say much more than I was pleasantly surprised by how well the museum and it's grounds were kept. Having lived in Oregon for 10 years and traveling back yearly for the past 25 years to visit family I had never taken time to visit is look back into the history of Oregon. While I may not agree with some of Oregon's "new" culture I was impressed with this museum. Great and very personable interpreter added tremendously to our visit. While in Oregon City be sure to visit this museum.

R Hat

Beautiful park and very educational.

Melissa Contreras

The interpretive center is great- historically accurate and relevant, they include actual artifacts and photographs, great illustrations, and tie in the local history so well- the movie is kind of cheesy but the hologram thing was super cool. Very well organized, well cared for, thorough, and lots of interactive features. Well done!

Jason Kasner

I went between Christmas and New Year's and they said they weren't doing tours that day because they had a field trip in; I was there 2.5 hours and never seen a field trip. That were super helpful with lessons and triaging my son's cough.

Lydia Emily Bashaw

If you're a local, become a tourist in your own city. And if you're not local you can learn so much by stopping in. This is a great place to educate yourself on the longest emigration in America, the horrors and successes on the trails and the general history of Oregon. Take your kids! They'll love it.

Patrick Sweeney

A good place for kids or school children.

Matthew Douglas

It's a great & fun place to go to! I enjoy that area!

Ashley Williams

Plan about 2 hours here. The site is an interactive museum with tons of information and the opportunity to experience activities ...of tje time such as candle dipping. There was a great movie part way through and very knowledgeable staff!

Daniel Clark

Gotta love this place. Besides the awesome history and the people that insure we remember it, there are always great family friendly events here during the summer. Thank you Oregon City, and everyone else, that make this one of our favorite local attractions!

Eli Dukes

Very good exhibit covering the Oregon Trail. Can get busy with field trips but you can find a quieter time. Plan a two hour visit if you like to read and look at everything. Maybe longer if you want to do all the hands on activities that they often offer. Make a day out of it and visit other places in Oregon City area.

Susan Ferretti

It was fun for me to see the end of the famous trail. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. I learned many new facts about the start of Oregon, how long the trail was used, and the various laws that helped shape a future.

Ashley Smith

The volunteers/employees love their jobs and love history. It's really amazing to visit a museum and spend an hour talking to an employee there who shares your same fascination with history. The museum is worth the visit!

John Delmonte

Great setting to learn about the pioneers that settled the wild Oregon Territory. Excellent Shop with a wide variety of memorabilia as well as a outstanding series of Museum features. Educational treat for the whole family, plan to spend the whole day. Lots of local excellent Oregon City restaurants nearby.

Robert “THE MADMAN” Bowne

Awesome concerts happen here

Teresa Vaughan

Pretty decent facilities & worth stopping at. Info center has lots of maps, pamphlets for all sorts of regional activities/points of interest and a few trinkets for sale as mementos. Tickets for the interpretive center available in the visitor's center as well.

L Stanley

Fun place to go! We were able to see displays and artifacts from the Oregon trail. We dressed up in period time & took pictures in front of a wagon, made candles & watched a good film with readings from trail journals.

Kathryn Reeves

We took the tour, and my kids LOVED IT! They were engaged the whole time, and the tour guide had a ton of activities for the kids (and adults) to participate in along the way.

William Obrien

The pandemic has got this place closed right now. The empty parking lot has turned out to be a good place to eat my lunch. 😕 …

Roger Rochester

Great experience for a second grader, on a school - free day. Exhibits that are tailored to the level of the kids who show up. A movie that presented facts and stories taken from the diaries of people who actually came across on the Oregon Trail.

Antonio Novelo

Went there for a class field trip. The tour guides did a very good job of keeping the kids engaged. Even I learned a few things on the trip. They have a very nice open picnic area for the kids to have lunch and then have recess. It was slightly annoying that they played a movie for the kids where one of the actors kept on pronouncing Oregon as Oregone instead of Origun. Other than that great trip.

Norbert Aschenbrenner

Ok, but not so interesting as the center near Baker City. Nevertheless you will learn what the settlers had to endure on their half year long trail. I liked that you also get the facts versus the fiction, for example why they formed a circle every night. It was not to stand against the evil native Americans... What I also liked was the building itself. It looks like a several huge wagons.

Andrew Barker

We did the self paced tour and had a great time. Depending on if you want to explore every item you could spend hours milling around soaking up the historical information

Kay O

Pretty neat. We didn't go through the museum (required a paid entrance fee) and it took us about 20 mins to walk around the property and snap photos.

Amy Polansky

A wonderful place with rich history to the U.S., such a sad tale and is beautifully told through this site. Took many great photos and had some touching moments when reading about what they had endured.

Janet Moore

Lots of interaction and places to learn and explore. My kids, ages 10 and 4 enjoyed the exhibits and learning. Will definitely be back again!

Debbie Casalie

This museum is VERY pricey for what rudimentary displays it contains. For $13 all you see is a 20-minute movie that tells you about the people who came over in the wagon trains, and the battle for the land with Britain for the territory and a few simple displays of life out west. There's some posters discussing life out west throughout. I think $5 or $6 would be adequate for this museum. It doesn't really represent the "true end of the Oregon trail," that is a few miles away, at Willamette Falls. Without being the actual location, I think $13 is way overpriced.

Tom Huffman

Wonderful experience!! Very good showing of the trials & tribulations as well as the museum showing so much of the wagons & goods. The little girls made candles!

Rex Bosse

The Docent engaged our Girl Scouts in lots of fun activities. She was quite knowledgeable about the relevant history of the Oregon Trail, and I had a great time, as did our scouts.

Sioux Tomka

Started my travels in Upland, CA and ended them here...full circle fills good

BernaDette Session

Beautiful landscaping. Good spot to chill for a couple hours.

Joan Elison

Sarah Stevens

Great for a rainy Oregon day! Went on Saturday just as they opened and had the place to ourselves. Lived here my whole life and still learned alot!

P. Joy Huffman

It was a lot of fun. Very interactive allowing kids to dress up, play games, make candles, etc. A definite stop for learning and fun!

M P

I got there when they were closing. The indoor museum may be nicer. Probably a nice way to cap off a long trip.

Chris Goodrich

Didn't go on trail. Neat houses

Debbie Hodge

This is a nice museum with hands on activities for children. The documentary film uses personal accounts from diaries. In fact, the entire museum is based on personal accounts from the people who traveled the trail.

Brandy Damm-winningham

Lived in Oregon all my life and this is the first time that I have visited the end of the Oregon trail.. It's pretty awesome so if you are like me and have never been it's a must see.

Sande Smith

This place rocks I went to a concert there with my kids and it was really too much fun I hope to go again it was totally awesome

Mason Luna

I liked the special event free day they had for 6.21.19 - 6.22.19 it was informational and told me the past history of the Oregon trail.

Lindsey Peckron

It's a decently entertaining venue but it is very small and few things to do besides the theater portion of the tour.

Anne Wagner

Great for children. Good for adults. As an adult, like the Oregon Historical Museum at the other end of town best

janice rudeen

Lovely displays, great outdoor events

BT DFMS

Free Summer concerts. Across the street from Coaster's Crossing for great food, bev. & friendly service before, during or after the event.

Angela Kathyleen Dennis

Awesome place to learn history

Douglas Wood

Fascinating history. Well presented. Could be more clear that an admission is charged. At 10 bucks each, it's worth it, but I wouldn't do it again.

Aaron Barnard

Having explored the sites and stops along the Trail from the midwest, its an amazing piece of history.

Sherice Halvorsen

Lots of history here. It's off season so not so much going on which was disappointing. The computers weren't working that help to show the history which also was very disappointing. It was very expensive for what was going on.

Inna Pipchenko

A great historical place to visit! It really gives you the sense of what it was like for the first Oregonians. Staff is very friendly.

Dave Hewlett

Great place to learn about history with fun exhibition areas. Well worth a stop off.

Such a nice place! If you're passing thorugh here make sure to drop in for a fun and educating visit.

Took the stage at the End of the Trail. Played to a dog and it's caregiver for a moment. Brought a lunch, wrote a few lyrics. Found out that across the street the Amtrak line goes to Seattle or Eugene.

A Nabs

Nice displays and explanations of the Oregon trail with a focus on the people and their stories. The movie is well worth the watch.
