Timberline Lodge
http://www.friendsoftimberline.org/
Free; donations accepted
Timberline Lodge, on the south slope of Mt. Hood in Oregon, is unique in America. It is the only twentieth-century public building of its size constructed and furnished entirely by hand with original craft work in wood (both carved and inlaid marquetry), wrought iron, weaving, applique, painting, mosaic, carved linoleum, and stained glass.
The lodge is an inn, but it is also a museum in the sense that it houses a permanent, catalogued exhibition of American design, painting, and craft work of the 1930s, created under extraordinary circumstances for a special purpose: to furnish and decorate a mountain lodge for skiers, hikers, and nature lovers.
Exhibits include historical buildings, sites, and structures; living history; local history and heritage; sports; and textiles and fashion. The exhibits are maintained by Friends of Timberline, a nonprofit group dedicated to maintaining the cultural heritage of Timberline Lodge.
