ing at the Oregon Histori-
cal Society, downtown, will
offer free admission to all

from Columbia Sportswear.
The society’s museum and
research library located at
1200 S.W. Park Ave. will be
open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
on Veterans Day.
“World War II: A World at
War, A State Transformed,”
presents the worldwide con-
flict through artifacts and
manuscripts on loan from
the Portland-based Mark
Family Collection..
The exhibit also focuses
on Oregon, a state trans-
formed during the mid 20th
century, including the so-
cial impact of the Kaiser
shipyards, the internment of
Japanese Americans, and the
only World War II casualties
to occur in the continental
U.S.—the result of a Japa-
nese balloon bomb.
