As a foreigner its always really sad to read about USA history, with all they fears. But as a museum it is really interactive and show pieces of the history that theyre not really common. Have an amazing and interactive hub on the basement which it talks about respect and been inclusive and is really interactive for kids. By the time they have JFK temporary exposicion and it was interesting. Specially the EXCCOM game.

The exhibits are ok but I got in trouble for taking a photo on my phone and the attendant demanded that I delete it. Some museums and galleries dont have a problem with it and I didnt see any signs saying no photography. Also we knew that it closed at 5pm but felt pressured to leave at 4.50pm when we were enjoying the exhibits near the exit.

I was blown away by the professional experience of the curators and knowledgeable staff. The site contains information about Oregons history ranging from the Oregon Natives, the Westward expansion of the pioneers, to World War II to todays contemporary art.

The Oregon My Oregon permanent exhibition covers all the highlights of Oregon history and is well put together. The other exhibition in the basement was confusing: its not obvious where to go, what the story is, and overall it left me quite disoriented.

Extraordinary museum with great rare artifacts. Came to visit the Pinocchio exhibit as well and loved it. Dont forget to stop by the gift shop for some souvenirs only available at this location. Will definitely go again.

Wonderful opportunity to share family history of my great great grandfather James Terwilliger and arrange to donate family stories and treasures to the society before I get any older. Michael Terwilliger Rogers Lake

A small museum, but worth the time. The Oregon display is very interesting and gives you a sense of the states history. They have spent a lot of time and effort and it is very much appreciated

The top floor does a great job of explaining how the state got to where it is. Lots of very interesting artifacts. The special exhibits were great the time we were there.

Thankfully, they keep smokers away from the door as per the law that was passed. Oh, and there is very cool p-town facts and artifacts to check out too. :)

Good museum. It is kind of small, but its cheap, only 10 bucks. They also skimp out on the WW2 exhibit, a very important time. Good artifacts selection.
