Baldwin Hotel Museum (Klamath County Museum)

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – “Flashlight tours” of the Baldwin Hotel Museum are begin offered on Friday and Saturday evenings this fall.

Cost for the nighttime tours is $10 per person. Participation is limited to six people per tour, and space must be reserved in advance.

The Baldwin Hotel, built in 1905 at 31 Main St., originally housed a hardware store on the ground floor with offices on the upper three floors. By 1911 the building had been converted to a hotel.

The building is named for George T. Baldwin, a hardware dealer, politician and civic leader who died in 1920. After his death the hotel was managed for a few years by his daughter, Maud Baldwin.

The Baldwin Hotel operated for 66 years before shutting down in 1977. At the time it closed, many of the building’s original fixtures and furniture had been preserved.

Klamath County acquired the building and opened it as a public museum in 1978.

The flashlight tours will last approximately one hour, and will involve climbing stairs. The historic structure is not accessible for people with impaired mobility. Temperatures inside the building will be relatively cool.

To reserve space on a flashlight tour at the Baldwin, call or visit the Klamath County Museum, 1451 Main St., (541) 882-1000.
