Columbia River Maritime Museum receives re-accreditation
from the American Alliance of Museums
ASTORIA – The Columbia River Maritime Museum has once again received the highest national recog-
nition given to U.S. museums, accreditation by the American Alliance of Museums. The museum was fi rst
accredited in 1980, and all museums undergo re-accreditation review every 10 years. The process entails a
self-study, a site visit by peer reviewers and consideration by the accreditation committee.
The accreditation program is meant to bring accountability and self-regulation to the museum industry.
The Columbia River Maritime Museum is one of 60 accredited museums in Oregon. Across the U.S., only
1,070 out of about 33,000 museums are accredited.

Pier 39 in Astoria will soon be home to a mar-
ket with vendors selling hand-crafted products in
the spirit of the area’s history of fi shing and can-
ning. The Hanthorn Cannery Market is slated to
run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays starting
May 1, and the Hanthorn Cannery Foundation is
currently looking for vendors to apply.
Peter Marsh, executive director of the non-
profi t Hanthorn Cannery Foundation, said the cov-
ered space will be able to accommodate enough
booths to create a good atmosphere, with a roof
overhead and windows to view the river. Visitors
will be able to park on a nearby street and walk
across the pier.
Since the Hanthorn Cannery museum on the
pier highlights the old-style craft of canning by
hand, Marsh said the market will also emphasize
handmade crafts like woodwork, fabric, pottery
and other items that are made traditionally.
Cyndi Mudge, a consultant helping to establish
the market, added that other businesses, including
those selling food items or nautical-related prod-
ucts are welcome as well. She said she’d be happy
to hear from business owners who have questions
or want to pitch an idea.
“It will bring more traffi c to the east end of
town, to the museum and businesses on the pier,”
Marsh said. “For me it’s also about the cannery
museum and enjoying the history of the pier. The
museum is fun to see and it has a fun atmosphere.”
Construction of the pier originally started in
1875, and having the museum and businesses on
the pier have helped preserve it over time.
Mudge said she’s excited about the market.
“It’s going to help the foundation and bring
more attention to the museum on Pier 39,” Mudge
said. “What (Pier 39 owner Floyd Holcom) has
done to that pier is just amazing.”
Booth fees are $25 for a 10-by-10-foot booth,
or $80 per month, and $15, or $55 a month, for
a fi ve-by-four-foot table-top space. All money
raised through the booth fees will go to help main-
tain the museum. Those interested in participating
as vendors can contact HanthornCanneryMarket@
gmail.com or 360-269-1039.
