The Discovery Center in The Dalles Oregon is a fun place to visit. The Columbia Gorge Discovery Center is the official interpretive center for the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.  This 26,100 square foot exhibit wing holds interactive displays to learn about the volcanic activity, and floods that created the Gorge. Other displays show Native American traditions, pioneers, wildlife, and vegetation of the Gorge.  The Wasco County Historical Museum is also housed at the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center.

This 17,200 square foot exhibit wing tells the stories of the people of Wasco County both past and present. Wasco County was once the largest county in the nation.  The Dalles, often considered the end of the Oregon Trail, is a city with plenty of history.
