An Interior View of Visitor Center John Day Fossil Beds National Park OR, shows old photographs of the Pioneers that built this home. Later owners, themselves Quality persons, were interested in the ancient biology these rocks revealed. They donated this house with the surrounding land to the National Parks Service for a museum, and a place where others could share the discoveries here. Don't miss it! Somehow electrical power gets all the way into this desert region, so it is wonderfully cool inside. (Photo = 112-1294_IMG.JPG)
