I stopped by the Evergreen Museum once on my way to visit family in Portland and thought it was great. Have you been there? https://www.evergreenmuseum.org/

It is indeed a great museum. I've many trips there as I worked with Evergreen International Airlines when the HQ was across the highway. I especially like that the grounds are so nice, perfect for walking the dog after hours looking at the outside displayed aircraft and armor. The large windows allow for nose prints when peering into the large interior too.

Not to hijack this thread but... I had flown down to Evergreen to pick up a check in 2005, as I was getting ready to leave my phone pinged with an alert that a 911 listing had popped up on Craigslist, A black/tan interior 87 coupe in perfect condition located in Ashland OR. I called and arranged to meet the seller at the Ashland airport beating anyone else by hours with check in hand. Off we went to the the local B of A to cash the check and bang! - I had a 911. Made the return trip a week later with my wife and drove it back through Crater Lake, Bend and Mt. Hood.
