The Fort Dalles Museum in The Dalles, Oregon, is located in what had been the Surgeon’s Quarters in the 1856 army fort. The bedroom, located upstairs, contains displays of local historical memorabilia.
Museums can provide a window into the past; they can help us understand the people who lived before us. Museums 101 is a series of photo tours of museum exhibits. More from this series:
