In Union, about 15 miles southeast of La Grande, is this interesting museum, chronicling the histories of Union, Wallowa and other counties. Relics include an old bank vault, vintage Barbie-doll collection and antique kitchen and bathroom recreations (check out the huge copper bathtub). There's also a 'Cowboy' room. Out back is a pioneer cabin and blacksmith shop.
