History you can visit
People, Places, and things that have made Clark County what it is.
In the midst of the natural beauties of North Clark County Washington, the Museum delightfully compliments fishing, camping, boating, hiking, and many other attractions. In Yacolt, enjoy a ride on one of the last steam driven railroads in the country. An hour north, you can visit the south rim of Mount St. Helens . Ask at the Museum for directions to marvelous local attractions you can visit.
The Museum in upper Amboy that looks like a church holds many secrets from the past. Once a church built in 1910, it is presently the home of many relics of the northwest. In 1988 a few concerned Amboy residents rescued the church from the wrecking ball and filled it with treasures of the past for all to enjoy. In addition to the inside exhibits a number of outdoor exhibits have been added. Less than a one-hour drive from I-5 via Vancouver, Battle Ground, or Woodland, the scenic drive is well worth it.
