Megan Hoover

This small museum has so much to offer for local history and geology! We were impressed by the extensive rock collection that was larger than some big city natural history museums!

Incredible rock collection

Mercedes Lampshade

This museum was surprisingly amazing for being in such a small town. There's a large collection of rocks from all over the world, including crystals that weigh several hundred pounds and a little room full of rocks that glow in ultraviolet light. The ladies who work here were super friendly and had so much interesting information to share. It was definitely worth the visit!

Curtis Stoaks

Very nice museum, with an amazing rock collection.

Gail Kueffner-Haw

Interesting exhibition. Children's scavenger hunt was a nice touch to highlight aspects of the exhibitions.

Darryl Haggard

joe smith

Was such a cool place to learn some history and see the past.

Mao Kaka

Hidden gem holding plenty of info and artifacts from Oregon's past. From prospectors and the trail to modern homesteading and industry, it's well worth the admission and detour.

Sandy Harrison

Michael Cook

Mark Boyer

Very interesting look into the history of the county. Would like to see a little more on the native inhabitants of the county. Well put together.

This museum was awesome for my family and I. It is literally stuffed to the brim (in a good way) with exibits. The building itself used to be an old swimming hall. They have all sorts of items. A lot of movie props and photos from the western "Paint you wagon". Do not miss the rock room if you or your kids like crystals and fossils. It's an amazing collection. Definitely worth the price of admission and will take up a few hours if you take your time browsing.

Great info on history.

Paul Turk

Historical centerpiece in town.

Gerrish Benjamin Willis

The Baker Heritage Museum is a real Eastern Oregon treasure. Their stone collection alone is worth a visit. The only reason I would not give it 5 stars is that since it is run by volunteers, posted viewing hours are not always reliable. I do highly recommend a visit, even if you are just passing through town.

Mark Henderson

Terrific mineral collection and period rooms. A nice place to gather some Baker history!

Jodie Davis

Wow! They have done an amazing job. I was not expecting it to have so much variety of collections from the areas history and the rocks are wonderful!

Christine Nieto

Really enjoyed this. Staff is very friendly. Gift shop had neat things to take home too.

Jessie Rollstin

Not all Museums are made the same. This museum celebrates the local community and its impact on the world. There are exhibits that are fascinating for the littlest children through to the oldest adults. This is a great place to explore as a family. Even if you are not from Baker City you can celebrate your own family's history by looking at the various exhibits and explore the history of the western part of the United States. The variety that is on display here and the quality of the displays make this a museum you do not want to miss.

Mike Pupius

Excellent curation

Amy Knapp

Amazing museum. You need to see this! The rock collection is incredible! Something for all ages. So much fun and education for a minimal price. Our 4 kids love it and we learn something knew everytime we go. Also a very affordable gift shop at the end. Don't miss out!

Yvonne Davis

So fun to learn more about Baker city.

Jasdeep Singh

Well, being late for visiting it, the Gentleman allowed me to visit and even went along with me stating and describing the ancient aspects and history behind most of the things situated over there. It was the only chance to visit that as I had my flight back to India after a few days. Thanks for the memories.

Daniel Bacon

Great local history , friendly staff and lots of great displays .

Carly Annable

The Baker Heritage Museum is a must see if you are in the area. The museum holds beautiful and informative exhibits, and the physical building itself is worth checking out. They have an extremely small staff and a dedicated group of volunteers who have truly worked miracles with the minimal funding they receive. Make sure to bring a sweater (the building can be a bit chilly) and block off at least an hour and a half to get the most out of your experience. This museum is truly a gem!

Peter McCloskey

I spent a couple of hours here this week and could have spent much longer if my schedule had permitted. The history of Baker City comes alive here in a wealth of great exhibits. Highly recommended!

Building is former Naturoium. GREAT collection of rocks and minerals collected worldwide over a lifetime by two local women, including a black light display of flourescing rocks. Great displays showing everyday life years ago.

Terry Drever Gee

Right now it is closed for the winter,and yearly maintenance. What a great place to visit. Look forward to new flooding in key areas. Get your tickets for old Auburn night, the end of February. An evening of fun and good food.

Eco Savvy Mama

This place was just so full of information. Very very cool place. Helped me and my family know more about where Baker City came from. Highly recommend checking it out. Took about 1 hr to walk the whole museum.

Karen Thomas

Kirsten Finnigan

Such a great collection. Something for everyone over 13. Nothing interactive, but loads of interesting history, gemstone collection that is notable and the Paint Your Wagon collection. Our Groupon made it a great deal.

Montanna Southard

love museums

Nancy Ross

Excellent displays. Not your typical small town museum. The building is huge and its history is quite interesting. The rock collection that was donated to the museum I thought was spectacular. Definitely worth the time and the cost of the admission. I only had 90 minutes before it closed and that was not enough time to do it justice.

Donna Laswell

Exciting and very informational lots of fun

Shane Dillingham

All it does is screw with LTE for T-Mobile/MetroPCS.

Rebecca Kolbet

There are a lot of things to see. The pool room with mining, timber, farming and ranching artifacts. A large rock room and upstairs there are settings just like my grandmother's house. Very beautiful. A great place to spend time revisiting the past.

Christina Carreon

Amazing place

Corrie Dashnaw

Awesome rock display, really nice Mining and farming displays and a very interesting history of the building. This is definitely a hidden gem and I recommend a stop, it's very reasonably priced too.

I've been to a lot of small-town museums. Most are posters on the wall and signs on the law. This has to be by far the best small town Museum I've ever been to in my 60 years! From exhibits to exhibits two exhibits. Well worth the diversion and the visit!

Huge and worth a visit.... plan a couple hours, at least to take everything in! Very knowledgeable staff!

Well stocked and well cared for, could have used a docent OR more labeling. Lots of room for kids to move with our bumping into you or the exhibits. Allow lots of time if you want to see it all.

mr mark Estes

Interesting local history with special exhibits. Outstanding mineral collection.

Debbie Cranberryfries

On a road trip we found this place on Google maps and thought it'd be fun to stop and stretch our legs. We were pleasantly surprised with how much this small town museum offered. If you're ever in Baker take an hour and go browse. The couple of staff we visited with were incredibly nice and helpful. One even gave us a few minutes worth of info on the town and how the museum came to be.

Helena Juica

Denise Mazzanti

Wonderful place to spend a few hours!

Steve H.

A very well done museum about the history of Baker City and surrounding area. The museum displays much of its artifacts in beautiful period displays. The collection of rocks, fossils and minerals is amazing. They are celebrating the 50th year since Paint Your Wagon was filmed in this area with a variety of displays. One of the best regional museums that I have visited. You don't have to have an interest in the Baker City region to enjoy this museum. Be sure to stop when in the area.

Lots of interesting stuff.

Eric and Sherri Sauers

It was awesome Best breakfast buffet ever

Jamie Morris

Love it. Try to go at least once a year. Kid friendly. Tons of things to learn about baker city past. A nice selection of early modern medicines. Set up in its own little room to look in and look around. There are mock kitchens and bed rooms all dated. An impressive Chinese culture collection on loan.

Dale Eagar

I always enjoy a visit here when I am up through Baker City. I especially liked the displays commemerating the 50th anniversary of the filming of Paint Your Wagon in the mountains outside of town.

Kim Corn

Displays are good. Interesting historical items.

Marcus Vinson

Suzanne Giovannoni

Freezing inside.

Andrew Fuhriman

We came here with family and it was interesting. The exhibits were neat, but our two toddlers didn't last very long. I think it's ideal for families with older children, but we still enjoyed our time.

My 6 year old and I love it here. Cant wait for it to open each Year.
