Tillamook County Historical Society

The Tillamook County Historical Society Walking Tours of Historic Downtown Tillamook.

On September 18, 2007, the Tillamook County Historical Society
offered two free guided tours of downtown Tillamook, with the historic
Tillamook County Pioneer Museum as the starting point. Because of the
interest shown, there are tentative plans to again offer guided tours
on a weekend in spring or early summer of 2008. Check back to this
website for further details.

A walking tour brochure is available for self-guided tours at the front desk of the Pioneer Museum. (See below for PDFs of the brochure, maps and additional historical information).

The tour highlighted historical buildings such as the Thayer Bank, constructed in 1894 from local sandstone; the post office (listed on the National Historic Registry) built in 1940, with its mural by Lucia Wiley, a nationally recognized fresco painter of that era (www.muralist.org); private residences viewed from the street showing gothic, Italianate, plantation and bungalow styles of architecture; the former United Brethren Church, built in 1896; the Tillamook Hotel, built in three stages from 1900 to the 1940s and many more locations.

The Tillamook County Pioneer Museum is located at 2106 2nd Street in Tillamook, Oregon. For further information, call Sally Rissel at 503-965-6973 or Ruby Fry-Matson at the Pioneer Museum at 503-842-4553.
