Love this place! it’s small but i spent hours in here reading through different material and looking around. friendly staff!

Awesome.. its opening a new section on 1st level. From past to present events.. the library is so cool.

It was really interesting to learn some history of my new home city.

Outstanding exhibits of local history as well as an extensive archive of Deschutes county documents and photographs

I happened to arrive during a chili dinner fund-raiser. Didnt know about it, but they ended up waving me into the museum for free! Lots of interesting displays housed in a former school building. Well worth the visit (they also have their own parking lot which is nice with the crowded downtown parking situation.)

Lots of historical interesting artifacts and stories to learn about.

Literally the best place to see the Vaux Swift migration in central Oregon.

This is a really nice museum in a beautiful historic schoolhouse. Everything is so neat and clean. The items in the museum are really well thought out. There are so many pieces of history to look at and they are displayed beautifully.

Excellent loocal museum!

Great museum. I loved it!

The Deschutes Museum Haunted History Walk was a blast! The guide had history, stories, haunting tidbits and accompanying photos at each stop.I thought it was cool at several stops where there were haunting tales, there was a light on in the window.Very friendly volunteers inside the museum too!

Engaging staff, stellar exhibits that invite you to lose yourself for hours. Im now a member, considering a move be to be closer to Portland for school. Very lucky to visit on a reception/presentation eve. After- hours access was sweet!!!

Wonderful old school house. Variety of displays. Not to crowded so you can enjoy each display. A few hands on items which I always enjoy because it is fun to touch and handle things.

Such a cool little museum! So much more than you would expect and very well kept and displayed! Cant wait to come back!

Great place to view the history of Bend. Displays on the main level are changed fairly often so repeat trips are a good idea.

Nice collection of local history. Each room has a theme. I was able too see most in 20 mins, but could have stayed longer. There is an elevator to get to second floor.

My 2 hour visit was very interesting. Nice displays! I will definitely return with my reading glasses so I can better view photos. Pleasant staff. Parking was scant. Sidewalk was well maintained during snow days.

Great little museum! Has some of the best history and artifacts from Bend that you can find!

Best small town museum with big time local history that you could hope for

Great place to look back and enrich all family members

Worth the $5 dollars to learn the rich history of Bend!

Well worth visiting. Nice facility for research

Spent a lot of time here. Those curious about the finer details of life in the early 20th century will appreciate every item here. The staff is well informed and very friendly. I forgot to sign the guest book! Next time.

If you love history, this a very nice place to visit. I learned lots about Bend.

Very boring and small. Donate your $5 somewhere more useful.

Very fun to see all the Bend has contributed. Interesting exhibits and even more interesting that it was in an old school building. It is fairly small so take your time.

Self guided tour of Deschutes history. Lots of interesting antiques and information.

Love historical Bend life and the current life in Central Oregon

Very neat exhibits and the staff was very friendly

Great place to see the history of Bend, very friendly docents.

Donation of historical device

They gave my weird friend hot chocolate

I went to school there when it was Reid School in the first and second grade and then across the street to Thompson School in the third grade and back to Reid School in the 4th grade

Spent two hours here learning the history of bend. It was so very interesting and a pleasant way to spend the afternoon

A small brewery and tap house. Their beer is damn good and their selection of food trucks is as well.

Interesting exhibits and friendly staff. Enjoyed checking it out.

The Little Woody beer festival is the best, if you get a chance to go, dont miss it.

Geocached while I was there. Lots to see and learn about inside.

Decent museum that needs updating.

It was better the first time i went there

Thank You, you have a wonderful local museum. Keep Oregon Alive!

Excellent staff and great local history exibits.

Meh. Old folks telling you how things used to be. And where to park.

Its a museum. Entertainment not quite at its finest.

It was my old school house....makes ya feel old...er.

These guys are amazing and they are helping me put together a time line of a historic house in Bend.

Unique look at the history and artifacts from the community. We attended the museum free as part of the Senior Games dinner and celebration.

Well, this is a great museum which tells you a lot about the history of central Oregon and the life in the past. $5 is acceptable for visiting such a museum like it.
