AN OREGON LEARNING ADVENTURE
Social studies and science programs tailored to your students

The new Oregon—Where Past is Present exhibit is now open! Delve into Oregon’s story, from the archaeology of the First Americans to the dynamic cultures of today’s Native American Tribes. This newly enhanced exhibit combines interactive technology, hands-on experiences, and world-class collections—showcasing 14,000 years of Oregon stories, and inviting your students to tell their own.

Schedule your students for a guided, inquiry-based learning adventure in the new exhibit. We'll challenge them to think like archaeologists, investigating Oregon's cultural history and imagining our collective future. All programs are aligned with state and national content standards and can be tailored to your students' specific educational needs. Visit our website to learn more about program options and how to register.
