It was a non-profit organization. The Hood River museum opened October 17, 1999, and attracted about three thousand visitors in its first year. The collection contained about 110 carved animals, an operational Wurlitzer band organ, chariots, and other artifacts. The exhibits featured European animals, major American carvers, armored horses, and the restoration process. The museum closed in late 2010, initially with the intent of relocating, but the closure was later made permanent. (en)
