History Day events will celebrate logging and lumber mills in North Central Oregon
Redmond Museum is the primary project of the newly formed Greater Redmond Historical Society whose mission is “to preserve and present all significant records and artifacts of historical importance to the Greater Redmond area.” This year’s exhibit features artifacts from the logging industry, local lumber mills and logging activities.
The exhibits will include everything from logging in the forest to the views inside a lumber mill. There will be exhibits featuring the manufacturing of lumber from the green chain to finished lumber. There are interpretive exhibits of a Mill office, an infirmary and even the corner Tavern.
Free to everyone, History Day events will follow the logging/mills theme. There will be games for kids and adults, live music, free ice cream, raffles and lots of prizes and surprises…
All of this has been accomplished by an incredible group of volunteers and donors who have dedicated their time, talents and resources to make this wonderful Museum and family fun day happen.
Redmond Museum will open on September 10 at noon with History Day events celebrating logging and lumber mills in North Central Oregon. At the opening there will be free ice cream, music and lots to see Thereafter, regular hours will be Thursday, Friday, Saturday – Noon to 4pm.
