We are here to tell the full story of Washington County, as a leader in Oregon’s arts, history and culture. As a cultural leader of Washington County, we innovate to better meet the needs of our county and create an understanding of our mutual past and shared future. The Museum offers unparalleled opportunities to experience and understand the complexity and richness of our county. The challenge for history museums today is to be relevant. We exist to help the public understand our mutual past and shared future. Our exhibitions and programs are the tools that we use to cultivate this understanding.
