Burns (pop. 3,000) is located in the southeast part of Oregon. It is a good place to see American Indian artifacts, particularly arrow heads. The nearby obsidian-based Glass Buttes west of town provided the American Indians with an endless supply of material for their weapons.
The museum displays a variety of American Indian artifacts and historical items, including guns, dolls, antique clocks, an 1890 Indian chief costume, and American Indian art.
The Harney County Historical Museum in Burns offers a wide variety of displays on pioneer life, wildlife, farming, medical and dental equipment, and American Indian artifacts.
