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. We welcome your visit to the Museum: Wednesday through Sunday, noon to 4 p.m.
Search online indexes of Family Names and Subject Files as a source for your research or view the indexes and files at our on-site William Kyle Research Library. The library is located behind the Museum and open on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11 to 3 p.m. Call the library at (541) 997-7884, ext.1 for more information.
