Presby House Museum

In Goldendale, Washington, attorney W.P. Presby had a three-story, 22-room house built in 1902. Over the years, the house was used as a family residence, a boarding house for school teachers and railway workers, and, since 1962, it has served as the Presby House Museum. Located in the attic is an Old West display.
