I'm going to try to visit on both days if you'd like to join me. Please readjust your schedule as the date has changed.

Tuesday, February 14th: Free Admission

Help Oregon celebrate its 153rd birthday by coming to OHS for free! We will be cutting Oregon's birthday cake at noon with our special guests, past Governors Victor Atiyeh and Barbara Roberts.  We will also be unveiling brand new additions to the Treasures of the Vault exhibit, extended through April 1.

Saturday, February 18, activities from 11 AM – 3 PM, free admission all day

Enjoy free admission at the February Family Day celebrating Latino culture! Be one of the first to visit Bittersweet Harvest: The Bracero Program, 1942–1964, a bilingual exhibit created by the Smithsonian. Videos, children’s activities, gallery talks, and other exciting entertainment will take place throughout the day to celebrate the opening of Bittersweet Harvest. Families are invited to talk with representatives from local Latino organizations who will be hosting information tables in the OHS Pavilion. Children will love to take a swing at our piñata at noon, and then enjoy a tasty cupcake to celebrate Oregon’s birthday week!

Please adjust your schedule accordingly. I hope to meet you all there!
