The Maryhill Museum (it was named after his daughter) is a testament to Hill’s friendships with powerful women. The principal gallery is devoted to the furniture and regalia of Marie of Romania. The queen was not only the star attraction at the dedication, she supplied many of the exhibits. The tables and chairs made by Romanian craftsman in the medieval Byzantine style beloved by the queen are on view. So too are Fabergé odds and ends, the Russian icons, and the gown she wore to the coronation of her cousin, the Russian Czar Nicholas II. Some things she donated directly to the museum. Others she gave to Spreckels, who later donated them to the museum.

The layered provenance is also reflected in the collection of Rodin’s sculpture and works on paper. Many were acquired by

Hill through Fuller, though some were donated directly by Fuller.

The fin de siècle collections include Art Nouveau glass from Spreckels. Spreckels, ever curious and receptive, also acquired for the museum the Théâtre de la Mode, the French fashion mannequins that toured America after World War II, promoting Parisian haute couture. When Spreckels died in 1968, the Maryhill Museum was a remote stronghold of French art.

From Goldendale, you can make the drive back to Portland in two hours. Even better, why not stay the night? There is plenty of accommodation throughout the gorge, ranging from campsites and family motels to high-end, reservation-required establishments.
