Visit The Museum At The Portage

Step into a photo gallery of Portage Houses, one of the new exhibits for the 2008 season. On display are homes built in a wide array of architectural styles and influences, most of which still stand today. An expression of the time in which they were built, the houses of Portage are modern-day artifacts that tell a story of Portage's earliest founders.
