Philomath Museum- Benton County Historical Society

"Cute little museum with good local history. Art gallery upstairs with a stage was fun with the kid. Beautiful building."

"Great place to do local research. The staff were very helpful finding historical documents I was looking for. The collection is well organized, so we found what we were looking for, and more, relating to my family's property in the early 1900s, in just a few hours. We found a photograph of the house my great great uncle built, and its location. Their Camperdown elms are still growing on the property, though the house was torn down years ago. Highly recommend."

"Free. Interesting exhibits, though a little sparse. You'll need maybe 30 minutes to see everything at a calm pace. I suspect when they move to their new building that there will be more on display. What they do show is certainly worth the visit."

"I was told that everything from Horner Museum, which used to be under Gill Coliseum @ OSU. I had spent a LOT of hours there during summer school while my parents worked on teaching credentials. I was VERY disappointed to see about 1/4 of the rock exhibit under black lights, none of the stuffed animals and limited display of WW1 artifacts. Benton County Museum has a nice interpretive pottery collection some lady spent years making. I sure didn't think it was worth the $5 suggested donation."

"Beautiful space. Incredible exhibits!"
