The latest changing exhibit, Let’s Play brings to life forgotten sports memorabilia from the Mid-Willamette Valley’s past. Check the scoreboard of local team hero’s, reminisce over vintage uniforms, and gain a sense of nostalgia from the photos, resurfaced from our collections. You may even recognize some of your relatives…

Sports foster teamwork, but they can also create a sense of community and belonging. This Heritage Invitational exhibition explores how Mid-Willamette Valley communities have come together through competition.

Additionally, as a heritage Invitational Exhibition, we invite museums from around the Mid-Willamette Valley to contribute an artifact connected with a theme. The idea is to broaden the voices being included in our interpretation of that theme, but also to offer some publicity and a public forum for smaller museums in our geographic scope and by doing so supporting our overall mission.

Come get a preview of the permanent exhibits being concocted for Caboose 507, as we await the construction of the ADA accessible ramp for safe visitation. Visit the Rail Heritage Exhibits page to learn more.
