Our County's History...

 The history of Tillamook County serves as a reminder of the diverse people who have called it home. From the earliest Native American settlements, to our earliest explorers and pioneers, to the history-makers of today, this stretch of the north Oregon coast is a living memorial to those who came before. Tillamook County’s rich history is preserved for all to enjoy at the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum.

Our museum is currently housed on three floors, with the basement level and second floor only accessible by stairs. Our main level is accessible via stairs from the Second Street entrance, and ramp and chair lift from the First Street (Hwy 6) entrance. The main floor has five exhibit areas, as well as a 20 minute, close captioned video about the history of the museum and summaries of all of our exhibits.
