About Old St. Peter's Landmark

This historic building at the corner of 3rd and Lincoln Streets in downtown The Dalles was completed in 1897 and dedicated as St. Peter's Church in 1898. It served the local Roman Catholic congregation until 1968. In 1971 citizens formed a nonprofit to stop its scheduled demolition, and the group now runs the building as a museum that also hosts weddings, concerts, and cultural events. Visitors can tour the building without charge, and donations are welcome. The site is handicap-accessible, air-conditioned, and has convenient parking.
