The history of Tillamook County serves as a reminder of the diverse people who have called it home. From the Tillamook Indians to Captain Gray's 1766 voyage into Tillamook Bay, 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.
Established in the 1930's, the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum was given the task of preserving and interpreting the environmental and human history of Tillamook County.
Beginning with a collection of 400 items, it has now grown to include 35,000 items plus an additional 10,000 photographs. The current collection ranges from prehistoric specimens to modern day.
