Cannon Beach Museum
Spende geschützt
The Cannon Beach History Center & Museum is a small private non-profit museum located in mid-town Cannon Beach. The museum is home to the cannon that Cannon Beach is named for, as well as a permanent exhibit on the history of Cannon Beach and Arch Cape. The museum also has an interactive tide pool exhibit, as well as a long house exhibit.
The museum curates seasonal exhibits on the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, shipwrecks, WWII on the Oregon Coast, and more. The museum also hosted a traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian in 2011. The Cannon Beach History Center & Museum is currently showcasing a series on shipwrecks on the Oregon coast focusing on the USS Shark, Emily Reed, Peter Iredale, Glenesslin, and information on the latest archaeological work related to the beeswax wreck project.
The museum is donation based, we believe that history is an integral part of cultural identity and should be available to all no matter financial status. The museum is always doing something new, whether it's an engaging free lecture series, community concert, or an event for kids. We host traveling exhibits, art installations, workshops and more.
Home to over 12,000 photos, thousands of historical documents, and hundreds of artifacts, the museum seeks to preserve the history of Cannon Beach and Arch Cape while making this information public whenever possible. The museum is currently putting together a new digitization booth that will allow us to digitize large plat maps, large documents, and even the schematics of the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse. Find us on Facebook to follow as our Collection Manager shares their discoveries in the archives.
As mentioned above, the museum is a private non-profit. We do not receive city, state, or federal funding to keep our doors open. We rely on members, donations, sponsors, and grant funding to continue our projects. Please consider a tax-deductible donation to preserve, protect, and make history available to all.
