The three museums of the Troutdale Historical Society preserve the rich history of the area’s early settlers. The Harlow House Museum chronicles the area’s pioneer life. The Rail Depot Museum preserves many railroad artifacts from the 1800’s and early 1900’s. The Barn Museum displays a photographic history of the area with changing exhibits. The Historical Society hosts events and programs such as the annual Ice Cream Social with fresh strawberry shortcakes heaped with ice cream and whip cream, the annual pioneer cemetery tour guided by a local cemetery historian, and “Treks” that tour museums, historic locations, and scenic byways in both Oregon and Washington. For a special night out, there’s a variety of entertainment for residents of assisted living in Troutdale to enjoy at McMenamins Edgefield. There’s a brewery, winery, classic pub, six bars, fine dining, a movie theater, artisians, gardens, a distillery, and lodging and hostel accommodations. On the National Register of Historic Places, tours of Edgefield’s renovated buildings and grounds are also available.
