The Columbia River Maritime Museum is a museum of maritime history in the northwest United States, located about ten miles (16 km) southeast of the mouth of the Columbia River in Astoria, Oregon.
It has a national reputation for the quality of its exhibits and the scope of its collections and was the first museum in Oregon to meet national accreditation standards. The museum is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.[6] It is the official state maritime museum for Oregon.[5]
The museum opened 61 years ago in August 1963[2] in the Old Astoria City Hall and in 1982 it moved to its current location, on the waterfront.[7][8][9] A remodeling and expansion was undertaken in 2001–02.
