The Klamath County museum may be small, but it truly packs a big punch! The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, offering a great mix of ancient history, Native American culture, and early American times. Everything felt well put together and easy to follow. What stood out most was the staff, they were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and so knowledgeable. They made the experience even better by answering questions and sharing insights. All around, it’s a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

Must See K Falls Destination
The Klamath County Museum is a real gem. For a county this size, it was truly impressive. It is housed in the old Armory building, which was worth the $5 admission fee on its own. The staff are kind, dedicated, and knowledgeable. The place was empty on a Friday afternoon. If you are in Klamath Falls, it’s a must see.

Great introduction to KF and its history
Tremendous walk through time, from ancient periods, amazing early civilization by Native Peoples, thru today. The Rock Room is extensive. I was especially taken with the room honoring WWII military and showcasing all the Big Bands that came and played at the Armory (from Lawrence Welk to Duke Ellington to Glenn Miller.

Such a big museum for such a small town!
I was amazed a the extent of this museum. My friend and I spent several hours there and did not see it all. Many fascinating exhibits. A record of history dating back thousands of years, through to contemporary times. Much has happened in this region, and much effort has gone into chronicling it here. An entertaining and educational way to spend an afternoon in Klamath Falls!

July 14, 2025Randy NThought provoking, educational
My husband and I visited the Klamath Falls County Museum in June 2025 and enjoyed our visit thoroughly. Starting with a very friendly reception at the front desk we continued to the large, airy main hall of the museum to learn about the Modoc war of 1783 and the Modoc way of life. Because of the number of interesting exhibit cases with photos and narratives about these subject matters, we did not have enough time to do more than scan other parts of the museum, such as the exhibit on the multiple uses of forests, depicted from the perspective of various interest groups, including hikers, loggers, hunters, campers etc. which seemed, at first glance, balanced and thought provoking. We really appreciated that the museum was not bursting with historical relics that overwhelm the senses, but was limited to exhibits of a few themes. We will definitely return to the museum on our next visit to Klamath Falls.
