Flavel House Museum

Flavel House Museum is not just special because it allows you to step back into the 19th century, but it was also one of the survivors of the fire that raged through downtown Astoria in 1922.  In fact, it's one of the best preserved examples of Queen Anne architecture in the entire Northwest!
