Sandy Area Historical Museum

Reviewed By Weberrider - Sandy, United States

Loved this museum in downtown Sandy, great displays and local history of the area and PNW. The volunteers there are very helpful, and knowledgeable of not only the display pieces but of the area history as well. The displays change from time to time I hear, so will come back again later this year when we have nothing to do ... Enjoy!!

Take a ride back in time with the Willamette Shore Trolley, aboard a replica of trolleys that carried passengers to Council Crest.

This is a cool place to visit. Lots of history here. Also you can park either at the top or the bottom, and explore the historic upper part or the historic downtown part at the bottom. It doesn't cost money. Definitely look up the pictures and history online before you visit!
