The High Desert Museum’s “Free Family Saturdays” are back this week, offering free admission to all Saturday, Jan. 27.

“They have always been highly popular and it’s an amazing day to witness the Museum’s educational mission in action,” Executive Director Dana Whitelaw said about the museum’s free day in a press release.

Open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the museum has a variety of attractions for all ages. Exhibitions currently on display include “Andy Warhol’s Endangered Species: From the Collections of Jordan Schnitzer and his Family Foundation,” “Endangered in the High Desert” and “Wolves: Photography by Ronan Donovan,” which closes Feb. 11. Another exhibit that just opened this month, “Timber Culture,” spotlights photography of an old, segregated logging town called Maxville that once existed 15 miles north of Wallowa in northeastern Oregon.

This week’s free day will also feature a special daily schedule where visitors will have an opportunity to meet a non-releasable raptor in the museum’s care during a Bird of Prey Encounter happening every hour between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Typically held during January and February each year, free days were suspended in 2021 and ’22 due to the pandemic. Last year was their first year back, said Heidi Hagemeier, director of communications and visitor experience.

Next month’s free day is Feb. 24. Free days are sponsored by Mid Oregon Credit Union, which the museum has collaborated with for over 20 years, according to Hagemeier.

The museum is located at 59800 S. Highway 97, just south of Bend. For more information, visit the museum’s website at highdesertmuseum.org.
