WELCOME TO
CLATSOP COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY |
One of Oregon's scenic
treasures, Clatsop County has a deep and varied history that
arises from its location where the Columbia River meets the
Pacific Ocean. The Clatsop County Historical Society preserves
and presents the area's local history in three museums and a
historic house.
|
The Heritage Museum is housed in Astoria's former city hall,
a classical revival building completed in 1905 that is currently
undergoing remodeling. The Heritage Museum also houses the society's research
center and archives, which holds more than thirty thousand
images.
|
| The
society also operates a fire museum and children's museum in a
historic building that was originally a brewery and, after
Prohibition was enacted, a firehouse. The Uppertown Firefighters
Museum houses fire-fighting equipment dating from 1879 to 1963.
The Astoria Children's Museum offers children a hands-on
introduction to the area's rich history.
Museum is now listed on the National Register of Historic
Places. |
