Take a tour of Crook County history with
A.R. Bowman Memorial Museum

Bowman Museum's indoor exhibit gallery features a wide range of
displays detailing Crook County history including the City of Prineville
Railroad, the ups and downs of the timber industry as well as an
impressive military exhibit. Along with these major exhibits many smaller
exhibits tantalize visitors with historically accurate depictions of pioneer
life and local history.

The building which holds the historical artifacts of Crook County opened
as the A. R. Bowman Museum in 1971. Built in 1910 as the Crook County
Bank, the building was constructed using stone blocks from a local quarry
located just west of the Ochoco Viewpoint. The same stone was used to
build the historic Crook County Courthouse only one year earlier.
