Photo by Kay Proctor. Morrow County is doubly fortunate to have two outstanding museums, the Agricultural M useum , a l s o known as the Ag M u se u m and the M o rro w County H e rita g e M useum. Both are located in Mike Thornton H eppner and overseen by the board of the Farm Foundation chaired by Cliff Green. Members of the board are Betty Carlson, M erle C ow ett, B arbara Bloodsw orth, Jim Hayes, Butch Laughlin, Larry Mills, Bob Jep sen and Bob Harrison. The goal of this new monthly column is to keep the public informed of what is h ap p en in g at both museums and will be written by a d ifferen t m useum volunteer each month. The m useum s are o p e ra te d solely by v o lu n te e rs w ho w ill be in tro d u ced th ro u g h o u t future columns. Look for both m useum s to open for the season on March 17, with the Heritage Museum having several revitalized and new displays. Admission is free with donations welcomed. On March 17 and 18, a St. Patrick's mug will be given to each v isito r at both museums. In this column, the board w ould like to introduce Mike Thornton, currently living in Salem, but a previous resident of New York City, where he was employed by NYC Library in their archival department. Thornton has deep roots in Morrow County, as he is the grandson of the late Mike and Edith Matthews of lone. He has been activ e and involved in both museums by g iving his su p p o rt and ad v ice. The fo llo w in g information was provided by Thornton. The H eritag e M useum w ill in tro d u ce several new displays this season. One highlight is a recreated Gilliam and Bisbee store display that strives to illustrate the merchants of M orrow C ounty. Key artifacts include Gilliam and Bisbee’scash register, metal signs from sto res like Bristow’s Market and Phelps G rocery sto re and photographs of store fronts and interiors. At the heart of the display is a variety of material goods that were available for purchase from the 1880s to the late 1930s. This display is representative of a larger curatorial effort going on behind the scenes at the Museum that strives to interpret and showcase the connection between the civic prosperity portrayed throughout the H eritage Museum and the agricultural and industrial history that made the county's economic and social growth possible. For the Agricultural collection summer plans are aim ed at c re atin g sm all e n cla v e s that h ig h lig h t specific industries and skills. For exam p le one such d isp lay w ill fo cu s on blacksm ithing and metal work. The importance of this trade is re fle c ted in the collection as number of the o ld er im plem ents in the display signs of repair or modification. These features are a powerful reminder of the variety of trade skills that were required by the average farm er and rancher to be su cc e ssfu l in dry land agriculture. Other display areas will follow highlighting the lumber industry and the operation of a grain elevator. Plans are also being made to create covered display areas outside for the protection the historic equipment. Several of the M useum’s vehicles, in clu d in g a h ead er box restored by Bob Harris, will be featured in the up coming St. Patrick’s Day parade in Heppner. As alw ay s both m useum c o lle c tio n s are interested in new gifts or donations. Should you have som ething you feel is of h isto rical or p erso n al importance please consider the H eritage M useum or Agricultural collection as a place to share and preserve those items. In particular, the H eritag e M useum is interested in artifacts relating to the rural fire departments and local law enforcement for an upcom ing exhibit. Aside from a billy club and a Victorian fire extinguisher, the m u seu m 's c u rren t collection is short on this aspect of Morrow County’s story. Any artifacts related to this topic would be of great interest. However, let it be noted again that the museum is interested in all aspects of the c o u n ty 's history and seeks to co llect broadly. Inquires into gifts for the museum can be made to Larry Mills or Cliff Green of Heppner.
