Wednesday, September 1, 2021 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon C O M M U N I Sisters Historical Museum in new location PHOTO BY JERRY BALDOCK The Three Sisters His- torical Society9s museum is moving into a new location. The museum will be housed at the historic Maida Bailey Old Library building at 151 N. Spruce St., between Cascade Sotheby9s on Cascade Avenue and Sisters Area Chamber of Commerce on Main Avenue. The museum will reopen on September 3, with regu- lar hours on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. during the Farmers Market season. Opening in 1939 as the Sisters Library, this build- ing was originally located on the west end of Cascade Avenue approximately where the Sisters Depot is now. It served in that function for over 50 years, before being moved to its current loca- tion in 1990 and retired as the active library. It is not uncommon in Sisters his- tory that buildings have been moved, sometimes more than once. Its restoration in 2005 was overseen by the Sisters Country Historical Society under the leadership of Jean Nave, with $70,000 in dona- tions from the community. In 2006 it was renamed in honor of Maida Bailey, a stalwart leader of the com- munity who, with her new husband, Meredith, had moved to Sisters in 1918. As a professional in the library field at both Stanford (1905- 1912) and Reed College (1912-1918), she would later use these skills and this knowledge, together with her lifelong love of books, to become a driving force in creating the new library in her adopted town and work- ing in many capacities over decades to ensure that it flourished. Asked why this particu- lar location was chosen for the Museum, President Jan Hodgers mentioned its his- toric value, location near the core of downtown, beautiful wood-paneled walls to show off the exhibits, and proxim- ity to the Fir Street Park for great public access. The exhibits include Native American, Camp Polk Military Settlement, Pioneer Homesteaders, the Camp Polk Cemetery, Farming & Ranching, and Prohibition. To learn more about these important aspects of Sisters history, stop by for a visit. Those who might be inter- ested in becoming a vol- unteer or joining the Three Sisters Historical Society which operates the Museum, may call 541-549-1403 or email threesistershistorical- society@gmail.com.

This year 9s festival See FESTIVAL on page 16 Sisters musician releases new single By Ceili Cornelius Correspondent Aidan Moye has been surrounded by music since he was young. Born and raised in Buffalo, Wyoming, Moye recalls, <My dad was a bass player, my mom a singer, and we all sang and per- formed at church; music was everywhere.= He always knew he wanted to do something with music, yet it wasn9t until his later teens when he started taking that passion seriously. <I was mostly home- schooled and in and out of different schools, so I was always able to find a way to play music, whether that be in school band or at home,= he said. Moye often had a gui- tar with him, eventually getting lessons from his older brother, John. He started pursuing guitar more See MOYE on page 11 As the COVID-19 crisis continues to affect gatherings, please contact individual organizations for current meeting status SISTERS AREA MEETING CALENDAR East of the Cascades Quilt Guild 4th Wednesday (September-June), Stitchin’ Post.
