A.R. Bowman Memorial Museum Review

A tough little stone building (it was once a bank, and banks out here needed to be tough) is the site of the museum of the Crook County Historical Society. The 1910 edifice is on the National Register of Historic Places, with the inside vault and teller cages seemingly untouched. Prominent in the museum are artifacts that define early Prineville, and recent expansion houses a research library and life-size representations of an Old West street.
