Two Rivers Heritage Museum
Welcome to Two Rivers Heritage Museum
We look forward to sharing our history with you!
We invite you to sneak a peek at some of our treasured artifacts online, and we look forward to sharing the stories of our extensive collections when you visit us.
Our stories are multi-cultural. We established strong bonds with both the Native populations and the diverse newcomers who settled here to start a life of opportunity. Our region is abundant in natural resources, with two rivers that served as the lifeblood of the region, and fertile ground that made sustained all who made this region their home. It offered quality of life and opportunity then as it still does today.
Our Programs
We invite an understanding of our past, and appreciation of the present, as we move into our future. The Camas-Washougal Historical Society celebrates the lives, hard work, and perseverance of those who lived here before us. Respectfully collected and carefully preserved, our archives are a personalized history of our area, and range from handmade tools and food gathering supplies, to musical instruments and toys, and everywhere inbetween.
The Gathering Place at Washuxwal
Inspired by our rich, Native American heritage in the Camas Washougal area, The Two Rivers Heritage Museum’s Gathering Place at Washuxwal stands as a monument to the native people who lived in similar plank houses that once stood here along the Columbia River.
