Raptor Programs:

Join our weekly public raptor presentations every Thursday – Sunday at 11 am. Our raptor educators share about these fascinating birds and take you on a visit to see our bald eagles, Liberty and Ferguson, in their enclosure.
Not able to make it? You can still view the bald eagles on our Live Raptor Cam during regular museum hours.

Saturday Spinners:

Members of the Northwest Weavers Guild and Northwest Regional Spinners Association will be here most Saturdays from 10 am to 12 pm demonstrating traditional weaving and spinning in the River Gallery. Join them to give it a try and discuss the past and current role of sheep ranching, wool production, and fiber arts in the region. 

Riverfront Trail:

Our scenic and historic Riverfront Trail is always open dawn to dusk and we encourage you to enjoy the trails.
We require pets to be on leashes, for their safety and yours.
Remember: Not all dogs are friendly when confronted with an unleashed animal. It triggers “Stranger Danger” instincts.
Please continue to clean up after your pets.


Open Daily: 9 am to 5 pm
