Santiam Heritage Foundation’s February events at the Brown House Event Center includes “Oregon 150 Years of Statehood: 150 Million Years in the Making,” a traveling exhibition from the Oregon Historical Society. The exhibit is provided in part with financial support from the Samuel S. Jackson Foundation.
In 2009 Oregon celebrated 150 years as a state. Oregon’s landscape has a much longer history – geological processes have been building the state’s landscape for more than 150 million years.
This exhibit illustrate how geology crafted Oregon’s landscape and natural resources and continues to shape the land and lives of its citizens. The most iconic of Oregon’s landscapes – Crater Lake, Multnomah Falls, Newberry Crater, Steens Mountain, and the Painted Hills – display Oregon’s geologic splendor.
On Feb. 11, noon to 2 p.m., the exhibit will be open for viewing during the Second Sunday Open House.
On Oregon’s birthday, Feb. 14, a special open house to show the exhibit will run 1 to 4 p.m.
The final showing will be Saturday, Feb. 24, noon to 2 p.m.
Admission, $5, under 18 free, includes the exhibit and a docent guided tour of the 1903 house located at 425 N. First Ave., Stayton. See www.cmbrownhouse.org.
