OMSI Free Admission Saturday
Portland General Electric marks the 125th
anniversary of the nation’s first long-distance
transmission of electricity, which sparked the
birth of PGE, Oregon’s largest utility, by sponsor
ing a free admission for all visitors to OMSI and
other area museums on Saturday, June 21.
On June 3,1889, PGE founders Parker Morey
and Edward Eastham flipped a switch at Station
A in Oregon City and lit up 55 street lamps
located 14 miles away in Portland.
PGE is a longtime supporter of OMSI. In 1986,
PGE donated the 18.5-acre OMSI site where PGE
once operated its sawdust-fired power generating
plant, Station L. Today, OMSI displays the original
smokestack and turbine buildings that once gener
ated power for PGE customers.
In addition to free admission to OMSI, PGE
sponsors other free admission opportunities on
Saturday, June 21, including a new exhibit at the
Museum of the Oregon Territory in Oregon City;
the Oregon Historical Society, downtown; and
A.C. Gilbert’s Discovery Village in Salem.
