The town of Boring, Oregon, contrary to popular belief, was not named after the adjective. "No, the city of Boring is named after William Boring, who donated land for the first school. In 1874, Boring was a Union veteran who had moved to Oregon after having fought in the Siege of Vicksburg during the Civil War. William's half-brother, Joseph, had settled in the area in 1856 before his arrival.

The land on which Boring was built was a former lava field. There are approximately 80 lava vents across the area, remnants of the volcanic activity that occurred there roughly 2.6 million years ago.

Boring was named a sister city of the village of Dull, Scotland, and later joined Bland, Australia, in the "Trinity of Tedium."

In the town of Boring, Oregon, there is a museum called the North American Bigfoot Center. The museum features a gift store and free information center, as well as an admission area featuring dozens of exhibits. The Gift Store sells hundreds of bigfoot/crypto-themed items, including books, clothing, footprint casts, stickers, housewares, toys, and more. The Information Center showcases free exhibits, artifacts, and art for your enjoyment and learning.

The Exhibit Halls are an admission area. Dozens of displays feature a wide array of Bigfoot evidence and historical artifacts. The life-sized sasquatch replica (nicknamed “Murphy”) acts as a centerpiece of the exhibit hall and is a popular backdrop for family photos.

This is the entrance to the exhibits. The exhibits show artifacts of Bigfoot all over the world, even though some cultures don't call him Bigfoot. In Canada, he is known as Sasquatch, in China as Yeren, in Nepalas Yeti, in Australia as Yowie, and in Indonesia as Orang Pendek, to name a few.

They even had an exhibit on some of the Bigfoot films.
