Oregon Area Historical Society
The Oregon Area Historical Society & Museum was chartered in 1987 when a group of local residents who shared an interest in preserving and sharing local. Today, OAHS is a 501(c)(3) with a museum and an archive of artifacts.
The Oregon Hotel was the first occupant of the current site of the Oregon Area Historical Society and Museum. Being near the Railroad Depot, it was a favorite stopping place for traveling salesmen and stock dealers.
The hotel burned down on Commencement Day, June 7, 1906. The museum building is the second building on this site, which was built in 1908 and functioned as a Farm Co-op.
In the early 1930’s, the Allen Lumber Company assumed ownership of the building and it was used by various owners of the lumber yard until it was purchased by Florice Paulson from Fred Chase in 1989. She then donated the building to the Oregon Area Historical Society for use as a Museum.
