Exhibit themes include area natural history, pre-emigrant travelers and explorers, Native Americans, pioneer life, the United States General Land Office and Bureau of Land Management, and the mining and settlement of Northeast Oregon.
The book Trail of a Dream by Dorthy Wooters chronicles that dream from the early planning stage in 1987 through funding and construction and, ultimately, opening day in 1992.[2]
