The Barbey Maritime Center for Research and Industry, known as BMC, is an integral part of the Columbia River Maritime Museum, located in the picturesque town of Astoria, Oregon. Originally built in 1925 as the Astoria Railroad Depot by the Spokane, Portland, and Seattle Railroad, it was a bustling hub for up to eight daily trains running to and from Portland until 1952.

Gifted to the museum in 1987 by the Burlington Northern Railroad, the Depot was in dire need of restoration, sparking a meticulous renovation project that commenced in 2011. Extensive work, including seismic upgrades, was undertaken, culminating in the successful restoration of this historical gem in 2012, now serving as a beacon of educational programming for adults and families alike.

"Great side quest for the trip to Astoria. Being that Astoria has pretty limited kid activities, and almost zero beaches being in an estuary, my kid wants to swim. He isn't strong enough to swim..."
