Events

Every second Saturday of the month (weather permitting), a historic military vehicle restored by members of the OMM Volunteer Corps will be on display in the Historic Park. Speak with the volunteers who accurately restored these impressive machines and uncover each of these vehicles’ connections to Oregon’s military heritage. This will be the last opportunity to get up close to these amazing examples of history before they are placed on permanent display in the Museum’s main gallery.

See firsthand the skills and power of forging tools and equipment used by some of Oregon’s earliest service members. Living historian Gary Lewis adds insights into the lives of those who served in the Battery A Oregon Volunteer Artillery near the turn of the 20th century. Visit the Battery A Artillery Horse Barn in OMM’s Historic Park and experience blacksmithing demonstrations alongside displays of period tools and equipment used by early 1900s service members, including Battery A.

Join us Friday afternoons out on the grass for children’s story time and activities. Pack your favorite picnic blanket or folding chair and don’t forget the snacks! Museum staff will start off with a picture book such as “Super Max’s Hero Surprise”, “Tilly & Tank”, or “My Mommy is a Hero” and finish up with a game, project, or other activity to work off some energy. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Come see the NW Parks Military Vehicles Convoy of over 30 military vehicles as they stop by for a one day only event at the Museum before they continue on the road. Organized by the Military Vehicle Preservation Association, the Convoy will be traveling through Idaho, Washington, and Oregon, living up to their motto “History in Motion”.
