Explore the North American Bigfoot Center: Artifacts, History, and Encounter Stories

In a recent video from Sidetrack Adventures, host Steve takes us on a journey to the Pacific Northwest to explore the mystery of Bigfoot. The destination? The North American Bigfoot Center, located in the seemingly unlikely town of Boring, Oregon. As Steve approaches the center, he's greeted by a carved Bigfoot statue, the first he's seen on his trip. Upon entering, he's struck by the wide variety of Bigfoot-themed items available for purchase in the gift shop. From socks to plaster casts of Bigfoot's feet, there's no shortage of souvenirs to commemorate a visit to the center. Moving into the museum, Steve is impressed by the amount of information packed into the space. Exhibits cover topics such as Native American knowledge of Bigfoot, hand and footprint castings, and even a casting of Bigfoot's... well, you'll have to watch the video to see for yourself. One particularly interesting exhibit covers Bigfoot's behaviors and tool use. According to the center, Bigfoot has been observed using rudimentary tools and even creating nests. The museum also features a section on Bigfoot footage, including the famous Patterson-Gimlin film. Steve notes the Mitch Hedberg joke about Bigfoot being a blurry animal, which had me chuckling. Towards the end of the video, Steve shares the backstory of the North American Bigfoot Center. It was created in 2019 and is owned and operated by Cliff Brockman and his wife Melissa. Cliff is known for his work on the Animal Planet show Finding Bigfoot. Overall, Steve's visit to the North American Bigfoot Center is an informative and entertaining look into the world of Bigfoot. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, the center has something for everyone. So, if you find yourself in Boring, Oregon, be sure to stop by and explore the mystery for yourself. And, of course, don't forget to watch the video for the full experience.
