Polk County Museum

The Polk County Historical Society operates the Brunk Farmstead in Rickreall, Oregon, a living history museum that showcases the history of early settlers Harrison and Emily Brunk. Built in 1861, this historic site features one of the oldest two-story farmhouses in Polk County, along with preserved original structures such as the granary and privy.

Brunk Farmstead offers engaging educational programs for families, including hands-on experiences in blacksmithing and woodworking on the second Saturday of each month. The recent renovations enhance the visitor experience by preserving the architectural integrity of the farmhouse while providing insights into pioneer life and the contributions of the Brunk family to local history.
