Letter writing carries a unique personal touch that digital communication can never replicate. The feel of the paper, the forming of individual letters in the author’s handwriting, a water stain from a teardrop, or a smudge of ink – even the smell can evoke the time and place the letter was written.
Join us at North Lincoln County Historical Museum for our second Letter Night! We will read aloud some historic letters from NLCHM’s collection including correspondence from Stan Allyn, Earl Nelson, Alice Sims, and so many more. We invite you to bring a letter from your own keepsake box to share, one that reminds you of the deep connection and care found in handwritten words.
Our beloved Holiday Craft Bazaar is back! Join us Friday and Saturday, December 5th & 6th, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the museum’s conference room for two festive days of shopping and cheer.
Our fantastic vendors in 2024.
Browse a beautiful variety of handmade treasures—from soaps, windchimes, ornaments, and seashell magnets to jewelry, knitted goods, paper dolls, and more—all crafted by local artisans.
Stock up on holiday décor, discover one-of-a-kind gifts, and support your museum at the same time. We can’t wait to see you there!
Join us at North Lincoln County Historical Museum (NLCHM) for Oregon Coast Home Movie Day 2025 on Saturday, October 18th, 2025 from 1PM – 4PM. This event is free and open to the public!
Home Movie Day is celebrated worldwide. It is a fun interactive event, where you can learn about different small gauge movie formats, get your own family movies inspected and repaired by film archivists, learn how to preserve and protect your films, and get recommendations for digitization. The best part is watching your own family’s precious memories on the big screen! NLCHM will also be projecting films from their own collection, including footage of Lincoln City and other Oregon Coast locations in the 1950s and 1960s.
8mm, super-8mm, and 16mm films are accepted day of on a first come, first served basis. If you want to guarantee a spot, you can drop off your films prior to the event at NLCHM, 4907 SW HWY 101, Lincoln City, Wednesday – Saturday 11AM-4PM. If you are interested in getting VHS, hi8, MiniDV or other media inspected and screened, please contact NLCHM as soon as possible!
