BEAVERTON HISTORY CENTER IS NOW OPEN!
The Grand Opening celebration for the Beaverton History Center was a huge success! Thanks to all the volunteers and donors who made this event possible. This center is dedicated to the Beaverton community so I invite everyone who wants to learn a little more about the city they call home to drop by (Tues, Thurs, Sat noon - 4pm) and visit.
Our first exhibit is about the Atfalati-Kalapuya natives who were here a long time before Augustus Fanno and Lawrence Hall arrived in 1847. Learn about how they lived, what they ate and see some of the stone tools and hand woven baskets that they made. All this and more are on display.
Welcome!
Welcome to the Historical Society for Beaverton, Oregon.
We invite you to join us as we learn and appreciate the rich history for the city we call home. From our humble beginnings as farmers in the mid-1800's, Beaverton has grown to one of the most important cities in the state. With the likes of Nike, Intel, and Tektronix anchoring our economy, it is easy to forget our roots. As the historian for the city, we strive to stay focused on our mission and goals:
Mission
The Beaverton Historical Society provides education to the community about our cultural heritage through the preservation, interpretation and celebration of our historic past.
Goals
- To collect and preserve photographs, artifacts and documents that relate to the city,
- To interpret and present city history through exhibits, educational programs, publications and special events,
- To make our history accessible to the community through both the Beaverton History Center and Beaverton Historical Society website.
