The
Morrow County Museum in Heppner, Oregon, has one of the finest collections of artifacts of pioneer, homestead, agricultural and rural history in the
Northwest. The Oregon Trail bisects the
county, but the desolate country through
which it passes did not slow the pioneers
heading for the green Oregon of their
dreams. Twenty years later, the burgeoning
cities of western Oregon started crowding a
few hardy souls who remembered the knee-high
grass and solitude through which they had
passed. These latter-day Oregon Trail
immigrants traveled east on the Trail,
bringing families and livestock to make a
living and establish a culture in a hard and
demanding land. Hundreds of photographs in
the collection of the Morrow County Museum
document the social, economic and
technological development of Morrow County.
Exhibits range from agricultural history to
a discussion of the Native American presence
in the county; from the history of rural
medical care to the story of the Heppner
Flood.
