Museum Hopping Summer’s a good time to catch up on local museums. You’ll find a sprinkling of out of-towners, some kids who left their bikes parked outside, and families who’ve decided to vaca tion at home. Bring a picnic lunch to eat in the park, or treat yourself afterwards at a nearby restaurant—make an outing of it. The Lane County Museum is one of our community’s trea sures. Because people who emi grated to the Willamette Valley tended to stay put, the Lane County Museum has an unusual ly rich collection of objects that came here via covered wagon or by ship around the Horn. While looking through a Time-Life book on women of the West re cently, I was surprised to find six or seven photographs of arti facts from the Lane County Mu seum. Summer hours are 10 am to 4 pm, Wednesday through Sa turday, and there is no admis sion charge. The Lane County Museum is located at the Lane County Fairgrounds, 13th and Monroe.
