Heritage Station Museum is run by the Umatilla County Historical Society, a 501(c)(3) organization, established in 1974. The Museum is housed in the 1909 train depot which was converted into a museum in 1987. Today the grounds include archive storage, offices, open air amphitheater, and outdoor exhibits. The outdoor exhibits include a homestead cabin and one room school house, a Union Pacific caboose, Windmill, and barn (all of which you may enter and explore),. The indoor exhibits celebrate the history of the country, with a permanent Oregon Trail exhibit, railroad information, newspaper/post office, and several changing exhibits. Picnic tables are available at a small park outside museum. Coming spring and summer of 2019 is a new military exhibit located in the 1914 Signal house and Umatilla Gold an interactive exhibit that takes you on an educational tour through the history of the wheat industry (Umatilla Gold opens August 2019).

This is a nice museum which covers a lot of local and general western history. It includes much more than trains! The exhibits are all very well done and the lighting is excellent. I enjoyed being able to go into the caboose and see what an old-time one was like inside. The old homestead was also quite interesting. Cost is a very reasonable $5 adult.

The woolen mills store has a wonderful selection of clothing for men and women, gorgeous household items like blankets, pillows, and towels, and many unique gift items. It is a perfect place to find a gift unique to the area. You can also take a tour and see the blanket making process.
