Join us at the Pacific Maritime Heritage Center for the opening of our new Maritime Library on Saturday, June 6th at 2pm! We partnered with the Oregon Coots to host their maritime collection and will feature a rich catalog of maritime related books, charts, and magazines for guests to enjoy and for members of the Lincoln County Historical Society and Oregon Coots to check out. Along with our library we have created more staff offices, an exhibit prep area, and additional storage, thanks in part to a grant by the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund and private donations. This is a free event, light snacks and refreshments will be served, and visitors can tour our comprehensive exhibit galleries.

• Bob and Jerryann Olson

It has been 60 years since the sister city relationship was established between two port towns overlooking the North Pacific Ocean: Newport, Oregon, and Mombetsu, Hokkaido, Japan. Community involvement has been essential in keeping the relationship vibrant. This exhibit will feature objects from Mombetsu that were gifted to the City of Newport when this relationship was established along with photographs and information of this historical day.

Thank you to the Rotary Club of Newport for their sponsorship and the City of Newport and City of Mombetsu for their collaboration.
