    Who'd have thought that a dowdy old county historical society museum could be so f**kin' scary?…read more Grant County Historical Museum sets itself apart from other small museums in eastern Oregon by focusing on ghoulish curiosities, including two-headed calves and the personal effects of executed criminals. But these historical curios don't hold a candle to the museum's collection of hand-carved mannequins. There is no reasonable excuse for the appearance - nay, existence! - of these life-sized figures, carved with ever-so-much care and attention to look like the grimacing victims of a flash fire. Many of these mannequins have extremely realistic dentures shoved into their lipless mouths, ready to spring to life and chomp some hapless toddler's hand.

Look - I'm a 22-year-old skeptic, and there's no way anyone's going to convince me that the mannequins at the Grant County Historical Museum don't come alive at night and wreck up the place. Don't bring your little kids. Don't bring the elderly. Don't bring anyone with a heart condition. Bring a camera.

She also shared a few stories about her favorite artifacts, including a very cool walking stick that was borrowed at one point by the Smithsonian. I was last there in the mid 1990s and the place pretty much looks the same. There's a timeless feel to it. The museum definitely has something for everyone.
