All muse- ums have this poten- tial to impact lives, including the Shelton McMurphey Johnson House (SMJ) in Eu- gene. If you haven’t been to the grand Vic- torian on the south side of Skinner’s Butte recently, you are invit- ed to check out their upcoming events and make some memories of your own. On Feb. 14, Eugene’s only Victorian House Museum is giving couples a chance to renew their vows in the Museum’s parlor, the very room that Alberta Shelton married Robert McMurphey in 1893. At 2 p.m., couples can celebrate their love with others in a group Vow Renew Ceremony. Each couple will be given wine, wedding (cup)cakes, a com- memorative certifi cate and a digital photo by BGEPhotography. Reservations are required as space is limited. Call 541-484-0808 to reserve your spot for this romantic event. Also on Valentine’s Day, SMJ is off ering a special package for en- gaged couples looking for a small intimate wedding.
