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.

important aspects of Sisters
history, stop by for a visit.

ested in becoming a vol-
unteer or joining the Three
Sisters Historical Society
which operates the Museum,

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
