Situated on the Historic Columbia River Highway in Corbett, the Crown Point Country Historical Society Museum is dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich layered history of the Columbia Gorge region. The museum is built on the site of the old Chamberlain Auto Camp, next door to the original home of the Chamberlain family, who were early pioneers and founders of the Columbia Gorge Rock Club.
Exhibits are organized around three historical “paths”: the Indigenous People’s Path, exploring the oral, pictographic, and petroglyphic histories of the area’s earliest inhabitants; the Exploration Path, documenting European, Asian, and American explorers and traders; and the Pioneer Families Path, tracing settlement from around the world in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Visitors can also explore the area’s defining industries — fishing and canneries, logging, farming, and dairying — alongside the cultural and social heritage that shaped this corner of the Pacific Northwest.
The 3,500-square-foot log cabin-style museum celebrated its grand opening in March 2026. There is no admission fee, but donations are accepted.
