Pre-Owned Exploring Oregon's Historic House Museums (Paperback) 087071483X 9780870714832

In this informative and entertaining guide, historic houses provide a place to experience the architecture and artifacts of the most intimate part of our lives, the home. Each of the historic house museums featured is unique in its place and time. The book 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. Each profile also includes a history of the people who built and lived in the house, a tour of the house, with tips on what to see, and visitor information such as directions, operating hours, and nearby attractions.

Kathleen Wiederhold has spent more than twenty years researching Oregon's historic houses and buildings. She is also the author of "Exploring Oregon's Historic Courthouses."
