The Midwest can keep its Big Muddy—we have our own Big River, the Columbia. At the Maryhill Museum of Art, the banks of the Columbia River are getting their own art show.

The exhibition Beside the Big River: Images and Art of the Mid-Columbia Indians is an expansive display of historical photos and Native American art exploring the lives of local tribes from 1900 to 1950. “The idea came from looking out the window—it was kind of a no-brainer," says Steve Grafe, the museum’s curator.

Grafe boasts that many of the items, on display through November 15, come from within 20 to 30 miles of the museum itself. "From the outside of our building, there is this 180 degree view of the river and the area surrounding it," says Grafe. "The beauty of this exhibit is that you walk out of it, go to that view and say ‘so that was what was going on here 200 years ago.’"

The river view itself is worth the roughly four-hour trip from Seattle, but so is the area’s plethora of wine-tasting opportunities. Take a jaunt over to the well-known Maryhill Winery just down the road—and mix your merlot with the Yes and Styx concert held outdoors on July 30. Or make it a tour with stops at Cascade Cliffs, Marshal’s, and the Waving Tree wineries.

Not in the mood for booze? Take a trip across the river to the historic Baldwin Saloon, hike into the picturesque Columbia River Gorge, or, you know, visit Stonehenge. Yes, there’s a replica of the prehistoric English monument three miles from the Maryhill Museum, though it’s actually meant as a World War I memorial. A no-brainer…or a head scratcher?
