Value-Priced Columbia Gorge Museums Pass Offers Free Admission at Nine Regional Museums
The $99 pass is available online at www.gorgeculture.org/museumspass
Local residents and visitors to the Columbia River Gorge can now take advantage of a low-cost museum pass that gives free admission for up to four (4) people at nine (9) regional museums. The $99 pass has a combined value of more than $275 and is valid through September 2021.
“This is a really convenient and economical way to explore cultural sites of interest along both the Washington and Oregon sides of the Columbia River Gorge,” says Janice Crane, executive director of Cascade Locks Historical Museum and one of the programs organizers. “It’s also a great way to support local museums rebounding from the recent pandemic closures. Proceeds from the pass will be split evenly between the nine participating museums as a way to make up some of the revenue lost during the shutdown.”
Participating museums are located from Cascade Locks to Pendleton, and include: Cascade Locks Historical Museum (Cascade Locks, OR); Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum (The Dalles, OR); Columbia Gorge Interpretative Center Museum (Stevenson, WA); History Museum of Hood River County (Hood River, OR); Maryhill Museum of Art (Goldendale, WA); Tamástslikt Cultural Institute (Pendleton, OR); Two Rivers Heritage Museum (Washougal, WA); Original Wasco County Courthouse (The Dalles); and Western Antique Areoplane & Automobile Museum (Hood River, OR).
The pass can only be purchased online at www.gorgeculture.org/museumspass
