The Lincoln County Historical Society was formed in 1948 to preserve the history of the county. The Society administers the Burrows House Museum, Log Cabin Museum and the Pacific Maritime & Heritage Center in Newport.

The Oregon Coast History Center Foundation was formed to encourage education of Lincoln County residents and visitors about the history of the Pacific Coast, in particular, Lincoln County. Both the Foundation and Society are 501 (c) 3 organizations registered in the State of Oregon.

Our Challenges
Challenges were great in 2008 with the Society helping the city plan for the 125th anniversary of the incorporation of Newport; republish several books, mount a new exhibit in the Burrows house and paint the interior gallery. The Burrows House Museum, carriage house, and garage received a new exterior paint job by Frank Wood's Painting and Construction.

The Pacific Maritime & Heritage Center is generating tremendous excitement. The opportunity to leave a legacy in a project of such significance is rare. You can play a part in building this unique facility and benefit our region for generations to come.

The Society offers a variety of ways to participate financially. We ask you to join the many contributors who have already stepped forward to help. All memberships, donations, and gifts are tax deductible.
