Mid-Summer Messege









Summer is a great time to visit our local museums in the Columbia Gorge and see what they have to offer in your genealogy research. Many museums have not only local history but you may find many clues in other materials within their files to help you. 
Dufur, White Salmon, Lyle, Sherman County, Gilliam County and the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center Library have a selection of  surname and topic files that are available to browse through. Their are great volunteers to help you too! There are hidden clues in the most unusual places!

Plan a day trip and visit soon!
