We've been mowing the lawn and shaping up our exhibits to get ready for our Summer Season! If you’re on our mailing list, you should have received our Season Schedule postcard recently, or you can always check the website. We’re shifting the months of our regular open hours this year to July through September to better accommodate the flow of visitors. This will also allow us to take advantage of the best weather for our region. We are pleased to be able to open the museum again this year both Saturday and Sunday from 12–4 PM, thanks to our very dedicated volunteers. Along with our regular open hours, we are offering these special events:
June 1: Museum Open House
Celebrate the Pesthouse turning 120 Yrs!
1 PM Annual Meeting
1:30 PM Program:
The Great Quarantine Battle of 1928: Portland vs. Astoria
Come hear about the research and the surprising story of a small town victory from our Board Member, Friedrich Schuler,
Portland State University Professor
