In the mid 1880's, European immigrants, Claus and Hannchen Schmidt came to Grants Pass and homesteaded on the Rogue River where their five children were born. Their 1901 craftsman-style historic home houses the museum. The grounds include a garden, fruit trees, and a barn. The museum also features a regional research library. Guided tours are available. Open: Tues-Fri. Extended summer hours. Many Historic Houses have been preserved throughout Oregon.
