Description

Our museum houses the collections of many people. There are things which will interest people of all ages. We hope to continue in the spirit of the founder and add to the collection at the Board sees fit. The major projects on agenda for now is up dating the grounds and working on some of the needed repairs. We are also exploring ways to increase attendance

History

Our museum was founded by Earnest and Dorthy Barrow in 1976. They wanted to have a place where they could share their extensive collection, which was acquired in their travels, with the public. They set it up as a non-profit foundation with a board of directors to govern it. That would allow it to continue after their deaths. As they aquired more items,they built more buildings. Today we have 3 major building and their home for people to tour.

Artifact Collections

The collection consists of geological specimens from around the world, Indian points and artifacts from all over the USA, Glassware, Figurines(Hummels and others), furniture, appliances, war memoriblia, stuffed animals, older cars, farm equipment,musical instruments, Medical and dental equipment, and seashells.

Educational Programs

Oregon Museum Association 2024 Conference

The Mill Casino

North Bend, Oregon

Hosted by: Oregon Museums Association

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.
