Pioneer Museum

Northern Oregon Coast


This worthwhile museum has a great taxidermy room and some very interesting pioneer artifacts. There are also curiously carved Neahkahnie stones (actually beeswax) meant to point to a legendary buried treasure, plus an Abraham Lincoln room with a sexy Norman Rockwell print of the president.
