-- Tamástslikt Cultural Institute opened in August,1998, but it had its
visionary genesis in the early 1990's. That's when Oregon was planning
for the sesquicentennial of the Oregon Trail. While the Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation - the Walla Walla, Umatilla
and Cayuse - have little reason to celebrate the Oregon Trail: it led to
war and to a huge loss of land and people for the Tribes; nonetheless
they felt it was important to mark the occasion. They also felt that it
was important for their view of the Oregon Trail story to be told. This
vision led to the cultural institute.

--The Umatilla County Historical Society Museum is located in what was
once Pendleton's railway depot. Erected in 1909, the historic building
with its classic architectural details and antique fixtures was
refurbished by the Society and opened as a museum in the Fall of 1988.
In the spacious high-ceiling exhibit area visitors can view artifacts
commemorating the Oregon Trail which passed through the county; a
collection of beautiful, intricate Indian beadwork; displays devoted to
the development of local agriculture and the well-known Pendleton Woolen
Mills; an authentic 10-foot long marble shoeshine stand; an original
railroad telegraph system; and new exhibits introduced throughout the
year.
