Great little museum that shares a lot of history about the local Native American population. Conveniently located right next to the casino off of highway 26 in Warm Springs.

We liked the museum it told about the Indian of the area. Price was very good. It has lots of artifacts that we liked. Can't think of anything that we didn't like. It had a very nice souvinere shop.

The Museum at Warm Springs is located on Highway 26, just across the highway from the Warm Springs Casino. It presents a nice, compact history of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. Displays area excellently done, through we felt some of the artifacts displayed could have used more complete descriptions, including dates.It was easily digestible in about 90 minutes, and well worth a brief stop if you are in the area.

a very pleasant and well put together museum done by Indian people about their tribes. The white man does not look too good, having brought their diseases, taken their land and confined 3 different tribes into one reservation. yes we know all about this but we feel it more here because we are in their land. it is also a very strong attempt at keeping their heritage alive for future generations. by now the tribes are doing well thanks to a casino . the town of Warm Springs looks prosperous. God bless!.

We stop at the museum for about a hour and half. The architecture is beautiful,the collection was nice.we really like the house and tipi in which you could walk into.it gave a very nice impression of Indian life in the past. You could also see in this museum the struggle it take to find a balance of keeping your heritage while taking part of life in modern America.

We spent an hour there just enjoying the history and the native beauty. It should be a stop when you go thru Warm Springs.

Eight of us visited this museum during a road trip in May. We were all impressed with everything from the architecture to the quality and variety of the exhibits. Naturally the museum focuses on Native American history and experiences before and after European contact. Very fair and balanced perspective from the native point of view. Something for everyone to learn here.

Not surprising this museum covers American Indian life in greater depth and from a somewhat different perspective than most museums since it is on an Indian reservation. Lots to see but not a lot of interactive displays so better for teenagers on up.

Beautiful building with nice architectural details. Well told tales of the People from pre-contact to today. The People shold be proud of this facility.

Very nice small Museum. Very interesting information on the Indian tribes locally. Many beautiful displays. Definitely worth a stop.

Besides the landscape itself, this museum is the best thing Warm Springs has to offer in our opinion. It is well-done, informative, educational, peaceful, interactive, and of interest to young and old alike.

The museum itself is quite beautiful. Located alongside highway 97 in the town of Warm Springs, the museum wonderfully tells the story of the peoples of the region, their culture and art. I cannot recommend enough making a stop here anytime of the year.

The museum is located in a beautiful building designed to evoke tepees and the landscape of the high desert. It's collections and informational displays reflect the history of the three tribes on the reservation. It's extremely well done, with many heirlooms donated by tribal members, videos, sound recordings, dioramas, models, etc. It was impressive to see how the 3 tribes came together and found a way to preserve their heritage (despite the best efforts of Euro-Americans!) while developing industries to help them survive in the modern world.

It is very informational. I always enjoy just walking around checking out the pictures.It is always very quiet so it is always nice to just relax and look at pictures and info.

Very pricey and seemed to be aimed at making money off tourist. Facility was clean an well lighted but was disappointed in the variety and quality of the displays. More of a rendering than a museum.
