Welcome to A.R. Bowman Memorial Museum
The building which holds the historical artifacts of Crook
County opened as the A. R. Bowman Museum in 1971. Built
in 1910 as the Crook County Bank, the building was
constructed using stone blocks from a local quarry located
just west of the Ochoco Viewpoint. The same stone was
used to build the historic Crook County Courthouse only one
year earlier.
