Our popular Holiday Craft Bazaar returns on Friday and Saturday, November 18th and 19th, from 11am-4pm each day in our conference room at the museum. It will feature many handmade items like soaps, windchimes, ornaments, stockings, seashell magnets, jewelry, knitted items, paper dolls, stockings, sublimated items, and more from many vendors.
Stock up on decorations, find perfect gifts for the holidays, and support the museum at the same time. See you there!
Do you have home movie film reels in your closet or attic? Do you wonder if these home movies are still viable? Would you like to see them again, but don’t have a projector to play them? Well, you’re in luck!
The museum will be hosting Home Movie Day on Saturday, October 8th, from 11am-3pm. Bring your 8mm and/or 16mm film in to be inspected by film archivist, Christopher Melton. Get advice on how to properly care for your films, and most importantly, get to see them again.

Join us at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum on Saturday, October 1st at 1 pm for a presentation by the Elakha Alliance called, “Sea Otters: Once Here and Perhaps Again.” Elakha Alliance Board President Bob Bailey will discuss an overview of the Sea Otter, their ecological roles, their historical presence and loss at the hands of the fur trade industry, and the Alliance’s work to return them to Oregon’s coastal waters.
Elakha (ee-LAK-uh) is a Chinook trading language word for sea otter, which were once plentiful in Oregon’s coastal waters. The Elakha Alliance was formed in 2018 by tribal, nonprofit, and conservation leaders with a shared belief in a powerful vision: an Oregon coast 50 years from now where our children and grandchildren co-exist with a thriving sea otter population and a robust and resilient marine ecosystem.
The museum’s conference room can seat about 40 people, so come early to get a seat for this free presentation.
