2010 brochure FINAL
On the Museum’s main floor, you will find a room dedicated to the first Tillamook Bay residents, the Native Americans. This room has been recently devoted to the North Oregon Coastal Indians. Many of the baskets and arrowheads on display were created by local Indians. You will also find the flag of the ClatsopNehalem Tribe donated to the museum by Joe Scovell, a Tillamook native and proud Native American who is dedicated to the cause of federal recognition for this tribe.
The Pioneer Gallery, just off the main exhibit room, features portraits of early pioneer men and women. Some of their belongings are displayed in this room as well as the stories of the earliest pioneers. The Main Exhibit Room and the Northwest Exhibit Room are used for rotating displays, exhibits and art shows.
Visit the full-sized fire lookout and our blacksmith shop. The tools and equipment of late 19th and early 20th century everyday life are also represented: kitchen tools, washing machines, cheesemaking equipment, telephones and typewriters, saddles and blacksmithing tools.
On our second floor, the expertise of Alex Walker, the first professional director of the Pioneer Museum, affords us wonderful natural history dioramas. Burton Farrar and Ann Baker were the background artists.
On the museum grounds sits a restored, functional, turn-of-the century, steamlogging donkey. A 19th century British government anchor, dredged up by the Coast Guard near Garibaldi in Tillamook Bay, rests on the Northwest corner of the grounds. For Tillamook County’s sesquicentennial in 2003, the museum building was repainted, and the grounds restored by Tillamook Master Gardeners, resulting in the Celebration Gardens. Tillamook County Pioneers are remembered and honored in these gardens.
Thanks to the generosity of the Dr. Margaret Basham estate, the former Victorian Parlor has been refurbished and converted into a Victorian Bedroom. It’s as if the lady-of-the-house has just stepped out for a moment before dressing for the day. On the museum’s l o w e r level, you can find a replica of a typical Tillamook harness shop of the early 1900s. While clearing the room of stored items, many old harnesses, bridles and other leather goods were found. Volunteers cleaned and identified the old saddles and bridles, and the harness shop was born. The Williams brothers had a harness repair shop in Tillamook about that time, providing the inspiration for the shop’s new name. Stop in and visit the “D. Boyd Williams Harness Shop.” Also on our lower level, modes of transportation come to life: the last stagecoach to make the mail run from Tillamook to Yamhill in 1911, a 1902 Holsman horseless carriage, a sleigh and a Tillamook Indian cedar canoe.
The history of Tillamook County is rich and varied. We hope you enjoy your travel through our past, as well as enjoying what we are today. Visit often - artifacts and exhibits are rotated from time to time. O

Be sure to visit the Pioneer Home Room where you will see a replica of the tree where the first white settler, Joe Champion, lived for a winter while he built his own home near Tillamook Bay. Also in this room you will see a replica of a pioneer home and barn. To the south of the Pioneer Home is the Military Room where we salute the local men and women who have fought in America’s wars.
Two libraries afford hours of extensive research material whether your interest be local history, genealogy, old photographs or land files, cemetery records, oral histories or newspapers. To offer the utmost standard of care for both the visitor and the collections, please make an appointment.

Through the efforts of the Tillamook County Pioneer Association to preserve the history of the North Oregon coast, on April 27, 1935, the former courthouse became the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum. Beginning with 400 items on loan, the museum grew until it was too unwieldy for the volunteer-based Pioneer Association to administer. In 1985, after many years of being operated by Tillamook County, the Pioneer Museum became a non-profit organization.
