As summer winds down, the gray whale is now complete. #omsicampgray #origami #summercampproject #graywhale #whalewatching #partnership #newportoregon #discovernewport #oregoncoast #pacificmaritimeheritagecenter

From the LCHS Archives, ImageScan 314, Labor Day Weekend, 1919, check out the Nye Beach Clambake poster on the wall. Apparently people would sit behind what is now the Yaquina Arts Association building to enjoy the beach and get out of the wind. #beach #beachlife #labordayweekend #history #newportoregon #oregoncoast #1919 #pacificmaritimeheritagecenter #lincolncountyhistoricalsociety

One of the perks of working at the Pacific Maritime Heritage Center is watching Master Piano Tuner Jeffrey T. Hickey, Oregon Coast Piano Services, tune the museum’s 1915 Steinway Grand Piano that resides on our theatre stage. Tonight is the Siletz Bay Music Festival concert at the PMHC. Today some lucky museum visitors got to watch Jeff in action. Our visitors called it, “the icing on the cake.” Check our Facebook page to see video of the tuning. #steinway #grandpiano #pianotuning #piano. #music #oregoncoast #newportoregon #siletzbaymusicfestival #pacificmaritimeheritagecenter #lincolncountyhistoricalsociety
