Walk Through the Places That Shaped Prineville

History isn’t confined to one museum or one street although our Bowman Museum does have a LOT of it too.

It’s woven throughout Prineville.

Historical PATHWAYS helps you discover the buildings, landmarks, locations, and events that tell the story of Central Oregon’s oldest city.

Throughout the community you’ll find Historical QR markers at significant locations, historic buildings, public spaces, museums, and during special historical events.

Simply scan a Historical marker to unlock a short video, extended audio story, written transcript, historic photographs, and nearby locations waiting to be explored.

Every location preserves another chapter of Prineville’s remarkable past.
