These control panels monitored the Curtis Steam Turbines installed in 1906 and 1907. Although the turbines were state-of-the art for their time, the technology was advancing so quickly that the plant became outdated within a decade. It was soon relegated to secondary status and was used occasionally through the 1970s during droughts and to meet peak power demand.

Today, the nearly-complete plant is operated as a free museum and is open to the public the second Saturday of every month from 10am-2pm.
Hat, boots & airplanes in Oxbow park.  Also has a play structure, nice grass and a p-patch.

The property is dated and isn’t very clean. The staff was helpful upon our arrival and allowed us to change rooms because the toilet placement caused your knees to go into a wall.
