Über Maxville Heritage Interpretive Center

Mission To gather, preserve, and share the rich history of African American, Indigenous, and immigrant loggers in the Pacific Northwest. We utilize inclusive stories of multicultural logging communities to better connect the experiences of immigrants and migrants to a larger American narrative." We are dedicated to educating the public about the history and significance of Maxville founded in 1923 as a railroad logging town and similar towns in the Pacific Northwest. We provide access to educational materials of these important histories to our region. Our goal is to share Oregon’s multiethnic logging history. We offer programs to our local community, host events celebrating logging history, staff a visitor center, collaborate on artistic projects, and present a traveling exhibit.
