About Anderson Homestead

The Anderson Homestead is a walk-through pioneer farm on the grounds of Fort Dalles Museum in The Dalles, Oregon. Visitors can enter a hand-hewn log farmhouse dated to 1895 and see its barn. Displays show everyday life after Oregon statehood, including wood-fired cooking, hand tools, quilts, and farm implements used by settlers in Wasco County. The homestead adds a domestic perspective to the museum's military and Oregon Trail story.
