The Columbia River Maritime Museum is located along the riverfront in Astoria about ten miles from the mouth of the Columbia. The museum features award-winning exhibits and was the first museum in Oregon to meet national accreditation standards. The museum recently celebrated its fiftieth anniversary anniversary.

The museum opened in 1962 in the old Astoria City Hall building, a couple of blocks south (inland) from its current location. In 1982 it was moved to its current location and in 2001-02, the building underwent an expansion and remodeling.

The museum acquired and displays maritime-related artifacts from the Columbia River and the Pacific Northwest region. All items in the collection were acquired by donation. The collection currently includes more than 30,000 objects, 20,000 photographs, and a 10,000-volume research library.
