Through January 8, 2006, the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum offers its exhibition Pendleton Photographer Lee Moorhouse and the Real West. Beginning in about 1898, amateur photographer Lee Moorhouse began recording scenes in Pendleton, Oregon, and the adjacent Columbia River Basin. Throughout November and early December, movie buffs and museum enthusiasts will find that the National Cowboy Museum is the perfect place to spend an autumn Saturday. There are several activities planned in conjunction with the Pendleton Photographer exhibition. Activities kick off with free lectures Saturday, November 5 and conclude December 3 with a free, American Indian Trade Blanket Appraisal Clinic by Barry Friedman, an authority on collecting trade and camp blankets. In a special five-week film festival, the Museum will offer showings of several films that relate to the people and places of Pendleton and the Umatilla Indians. The free showings will be held in the Museum’s Dub and Mozelle Richardson Theatre. Moviegoers are invited to visit the exhibition before or after showings. Museum exhibition admission is free for Museum members; otherwise, visitors may view the exhibition by paying the nominal Museum admission fee or purchasing a membership on site. Collectors and shoppers will be especially interested in the companion book and limited edition Pendleton Woolen Mills blanket produced in connection with the exhibition and available at The Museum Store. The Western Legacy Blanket commemorates the Museum’s 50th anniversary. The Museum’s Curator of Native American Collections Steven L. Grafe authored Peoples of the Plateau: The Indian Photographs of Lee Moorhouse, 1898-1915. Pendleton Photographer is presented by Bank of America and major sponsors: Dolese Bros. Co and A.J. “Jack” and Phoebe Cooke. Additional Museum support courtesy of Devon Energy Corp., Mustang Fuel Corp., Dobson Communications Corp. and The Oklahoman.
