Favell Museum — Attraction in Klamath Falls

This is a nice museum. It is an idiosyncratic museum. The museum has three distinct sections, one on indigenous artifacts and local history, mainly pioneer; one of paintings and bronzes, more or a less a gallery space; and the vault.

In the first space there are many arrowheads but they are presented entirely out of their original context. They have other indigenous artifacts which are a highlight of the museum. The Modoc Indian War of 1873 is presented through framed newspaper articles from the time and little more. The pioneer history exhibits are nice but confined.

In the gallery space there are numerous paintings that are nice.

I drove to Klamath Falls to view the huge collection of Native American artifacts from the America's.

The arrowheads and points collection includes the Clovis Points that dated back 13,500 years.

You find exhibits on the Couger Mountain and Nicolarsen Caves artifacts that date back to more then 12,000 years.

The local tribes of the Nortwest include face masks from the Coastal areas, tools, and necklaces.

Photos are not allowed to taken in the exhibit area.

Located on West Main Street across the river from downtown Klamath Falls.

The artifacts are the best of those collected from First Americans' settlements. Combined with some of the finest paintings I've ever seen they give an authentic flavor of life for these native tribes and the horrors they suffered by the white man's gun. The paintings are so detailed and realistic that each one is mesmerizing. Also lots of extraordinary sculpture and other collections, as well as videos of The Modoc War, pottery, basket weaving, and a first class gift shop at the front. The place is SO...
