Welcome to our blog!
The Siuslaw Pioneer Museum exhibits include historical items of the Siuslaw Valley and its surrounding areas. Many of the artifacts were made or used in the every day life of our pioneers. View our new Rhododendron Festival exhibit in our first floor lobby! We look forward to your visit!
