Cannon Beach History Center & Museum
T
Art. History. Fun.
The Cannon Beach History Center and
Museum is located in mid-town Cannon Beach
at the corner of Sunset and Spruce Street. As the
town’s only history museum, a visit isn’t complete
without a tour through the museum’s exhibits.
This fall, the museum opened “What Remains:
Japanese Americans in Internment Camps”, a
textile exhibit from Cathy Erickson of Portland,
Oregon. The nearly twenty-piece exhibit, which is
sponsored by Cannon Beach’s Center Diamond,
explores the stories, experiences, and history
behind Japanese Internment Camps in America
during World War II through textile art. But textile
art isn’t all that you will find at this small town
museum.
The latest temporary exhibit entitled, “WWII on
the Oregon Coast” explores the historic events
and features shared stories, artifacts, and images
of World War II on the Oregon Coast. The exhibit
was made possible in part by a grant from
Oregon Humanities (OH), a statewide nonprofit
organization and an independent affiliate of the
National Endowment for the Humanities, which
funds OH’s grant program.
While in town on Saturday, November 7, have a
little family fun and join the Museum’s annual
trivia contest. The event is a combination of a
scavenger hunt and trivia contest. At just $2 a
sheet and an almost guaranteed chance to win
some candy from Bruce’s Candy Kitchen, it is a
must-do. Answer all of the questions correctly
and receive a prize! They will be offering free
Sleepy Monk coffee, hot chocolate, and tasty
treats.
The Museum also offers an acoustic series,
which begins in February with a concert by
Museum favorite, Lauren Sheehan. Tickets are
$12 for adults and $2 for children. Our lecture
series will begin February as well with
presentations by archaeologists, scientists, and
inventors. Visit www.cbhistory.org to see our
schedule of events.
The Cannon Beach History Center & Museum
is open Wednesday through Monday from 1:00
p.m. to 5:00 p.m. during the winter months. Stop
by over the Stormy Weather weekend for our
annual trivia test. Answer all of the questions
correctly and receive a prize! We will also be
offering free Sleepy Monk coffee, hot chocolate,
and tasty treats. Another great reason to visit the
Museum. If you become a member over the
weekend, you will receive two complimentary
concert tickets to a concert of your choice!
Memberships are just $30.
