Over a century before now somewhere on the bare surface of a planet, cold, alone... on the edge of a primordial sea, a colony was established beside the remains of an underwater volcano that blew apart before humans existed.nnThere's human's remains from an ocean away buried in the ground here, people from another hemisphere who settled here in an act of hubris, an act of pride, an act of faith in a God never before known to the quiet of this scrub covered land, these jackrabbits and coyotes, cougars and eagles, of coarsely strewn hard hard scrabble rocks, and dust.nnA collection of clapboard constructions stands in the moon and electric pole light, cross topped painted white or bare wind grained and cracking.nnThey're ghosts here as a museum to their memory, preserved by the side of a desperately tenuous two lane County road, faded yellow lines down its spine, shotgun holes in speed trap highway signs, a bar off to the side, raging slogans on tattered political signs, bitterness sleeping through the frozen nights, machine gears waiting for summer in the silence of winter.
Great stop, we visited in 2017 in the off season (everything was closed), still lots of historical information and an interesting stop.
We visited while on a motorcycle ride and enjoyed the great care this group has put into preserving and displaying the history of the area. Largely it's a very safe visit to make at this time since the majority of the museum is outside or dispersed enough that social distancing is easy to maintain. We had a concern with an employee who refused to wear a mask while we were inside checking in and paying and, once it was brought to the attention of the Board, swift action was taken to ensure that person would no longer put the public in danger. I feel confident that Fort Rock Homestead Museum is now an even safer place to visit. Definitely worth a stop and a great museum to support!nnEdited for stars and content to reflect the appropriate and caring response from the museum board regarding my safety concerns. This is a good org to support so please stop by if you're near.
Great place to learn about the history of fort rock. Many buildings moved and donated to the museum. Worth a visit on your way through!
Great place to shoot pictures. Would be 5 stars but not open during the week.
