The ribbon cutting on July 1st officially opened the pathway

The Lincoln County Historical Society welcomed the public to celebrate the completion of a new pedestrian pathway from Bayfront Boulevard and greatly improved driveway access. The brief ceremony was well attended and marked the public reopening of the facility. The Heritage Center is already seeing an increase in attendance from these improvements and LCHS looks forward to a busy summer season.

On behalf of the LCHS staff and board, we want to thank the following for their generosity so far in helping us complete this much needed project: the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund for financial backing of this program through their annual community grant program; Leo’s Excavation for their donation of time and equipment above and beyond their bid; the Port of Newport for donating their time and equipment in assisting with our light installation; Allen’s Lot Maintenance; Michael Dean with Tradenet Concrete; and Dan Van Calcar of Soderstrom Architects for donating his time creating plans, designs and providing expertise. Additional funding or assistance for this project has generously come from the R. Barry Fisher & Carol Fisher Living Trust, Estate of Lorraine Jones, Estate of Mark Sponenburgh, Crab Krack 2020 donors, Robert and Jerryann Olson, Paul Stangeland, Port of Toledo, Central Lincoln and others.
