Maryhill Museum of Art Is Still Open Until Nov. 15 [PHOTOS]

I stopped by the Maryhill Museum of Art on my honeymoon back in 2011 because I had never been there. I thought it was a cool place to explore and I enjoyed going inside the facility. The museum shuts down for the season on Nov. 15, but it still has several great family events to attend before then.

The Maryhill Museum of Art is nestled right next to the Columbia River, about 12 miles from Goldendale, and it's a great inexpensive family day trip.

Here are some of the events they list that you can partake in before the winter closing:

            FAMILY FUN & THE COLUMBIA RIVER HIGHWAY- SATURDAY, November 5, 1               to 4 p.m. 

          Celebrate the historic dedication of Maryhill Museum of Art 90 years ago and the               centennial of the opening of the Historic Columbia River Highway. Youth 18 and                 under receive free admission all day.

Learn About the Columbia River Highway with Sam Hill and Queen Marie | 1:30 p.m.
Join Maryhill executive director Colleen Schafroth and special guests “Sam Hill” and “Queen Marie" for a 20-minute slide show about the Columbia River Highway. After Marie dedicated Maryhill in 1926, she and her royal entourage traveled the Columbia River Highway, receiving warm welcomes at The Dalles and Hood River, where excited children strained to see her. After the program, Sam Hill and Queen Marie will be available for photographs.

Make a Travel Journal | 2 to 4 p.m.
Create a personal travel journal with bookmaker and artist Maureen Lauran, and make your own crown with museum staff and volunteers. 

Let’s Eat Cake | 4 p.m.
Enjoy a slice of cake with Queen Marie and Sam Hill, and view the display A Road Trip of Historic Proportions, developed by the Oregon Department of Transportation. Bring your camera and take a selfie behind a full-size cutout of John B. Yeon’s 1915 Franklin automobile.
