John Wesley Powell River History Museum
|
John Wesley Powell was the proverbial "intrepid explorer" who led mapping expeditions of the Green and Colorado Rivers from 1869-72. (He had only one arm and had to be lashed to a chair aboard his wooden raft as they tackled these wild unknown rivers.)..This small, though fine museum, presents in adequate fashion the history of his exploits, including a good 20 minute multi-media presentation through slides. ..The museum also has a well stocked gift and book shop.
