Lane County History Museum

This non-profit organization serves to encourage the preservation of Lane County history. The Lane County Historical Society operates the Lane County Historical Museum, which was created to collect, preserve, and interpret Lane County’s rich heritage. The museum houses historical collections of national and local significance dating from the early 1800s to the present day. Ongoing and rotating exhibits of historical artifacts, images, along with interpretive panels help the Museum to establish and illustrate the history of Lane County to the public thereby maintaining and furthering common and didactic interests within local history and history at large. Lane County was a destination point for emigrants crossing the Oregon Trail in the mid-1800s. The Lane County Historical Museum is the only county-wide historical museum in Lane County.
