"Exploring Oregon's Historic House Museums covers houses built from 1841 to 1936, from a hewn log cabin in the high desert to a grand mansion in the state's most populated city. The houses, many of which are on the National Register of Historic Places, span the economic spectrum from poor to wealthy, and include those belonging to noteworthy Oregonians from John McLoughlin to Wayne Morse. All are open to the public.".
"The author introduces readers to more than four dozen historic house museums in towns and cities from Astoria to Baker City. Each profile includes: a fascinating history of the people who built and lived in the house; detailed descriptions of exterior and interior features, including architectural styles, floor plans, and furnishing; a step-by-step tour of the house with tips on what to see; and visitor information such as directions, operating hours, and nearby attractions.".
"The featured houses provide glimpses of people in places where they lived. They showcase both ordinary and unusual objects that Oregonians used in everyday life. They also reflect on the course of the state's settlement and growth. This engaging guide explains these dwellings and tells their stories. For history buffs, old house enthusiasts, antique aficionados, and cultural tourists, this book is an excellent introduction to Oregon's heritage houses."--BOOK JACKET.
