Rock hounds and antique lovers will find this museum full of fascinating displays. Curator and collector Howard Dolph has been collecting rocks for over 80 years.

His rock and mineral collection includes thundereggs, fossils, petrified wood, agate, black jade, jasper, and some of the world reknowned Biggs Picture Jasper collected from the local area. (Rufus is about 5 miles east of Biggs, Oregon.)

Dolph also has an interesting collection of stone tools used by Native Americans. Stone pestles, mortars, fishing weights and a few petroglyphs rescued from destruction when the local train tracks were being constructed. An eclectic collection of antique guns and other items round out the museum.

An experienced lapidary craftsman, Dolph also has a rock shop where he sells specimens to collectors and jewelers. To see his turquoise specimens for sale, click here.

Located a half-mile west of Rufus, Oregon on Old Highway 30 in the picturesque Columbia River Gorge.
