Giving Back to the Community
The High Desert Museum is proud to offer its Discovery Pass program which provides free Museum admission to targeted youth & adult social service organizations throughout the Oregon high desert community who may not otherwise be able to visit the Museum. The Discovery Pass program distributes free admission passes to nearly 10,000 Central Oregonians each year. We hope to provide community members with an opportunity to experience the Museum and to inspire stewardship of the natural and cultural resources of the High Desert.
