History

Owned and operated by The Western Rhode Island Civic Historical Society. A one time Colonial home and Inn, restored and furnished in the period-style.
The Paine house originally was built by Francis Brayton Sr. After his death in 1783 the property passed to his son Francis Brayton Jr. In 1785 Francis Brayton Jr was granted a license to sell spiritous liquors and the house became a house of entertainment, an inn or a tavern. In 1797 it was sold to a Charles Holden and was known as the Holden tavern. Holden heirs sold it to Thomas Whipple April 9, 1849.
On April 25, 1866 the Whipple family sold the property to Phebe Paine and Mary Mathewson (Matteson). Mary sold her half to Phebe Paine Johnson.

Oregon Museum Association 2024 Conference

As we gather for the Oregon Museums Association 2024 Annual Conference in Coos Bay, the conference theme “Ebb & Flow” acknowledges the nearby coastline while providing a metaphor to reflect on the work of Oregon’s museums today

It can feel like the sands are shifting as museums face challenges and opportunities like changing patterns of visitorship, evolving technologies, revised funding strategies, and peoples’ desire for community.

The 2024 conference will explore contemporary issues facing museums, so that together we can take the helm to identify solutions and successfully steer our work forward

Whether you are an emerging professional just getting your feet wet, in the mid-career flow, or an established leader navigating the depths of museum work, we invite you to join us at The Mill Casino Hotel in Coos Bay, September 8-10, 2024.
