Museum is a hidden treasure

Camas and Washougal are unique communities with complex and layered histories. To say they are simply “mill towns” (paper for Camas, wool for Washougal), would be seriously minimizing both of their colorful pasts.

The treasure chest that houses all of these facts, stories, photographs and historical documents, is the Two Rivers Heritage Museum in Washougal. Tucked in a corner at 1 Durgan St., away from a lot of regular foot and vehicle traffic, even museum leaders admit that many citizens in both communities aren’t aware it’s there.
