Amboy Clark County, Washington
The Gothic-style church was built in 1910 by the Rev. Dora Young, a roving minister who preached throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington. It became the Evangelical United Brethren Church in 1946, but then closed shortly thereafter. A 1966 renovation effort replicated and replaced the lost steeple and stained glass windows. It became a Washington State Centennial project and after twelve years of fundraising, opened as a museum in 2000.
