Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox museum The Coos History Museum is a history museum located in Coos Bay, Oregon, United States. Opened in 1947 as the Coos-Curry Pioneer and Historical Association Museum, the museum is operated by the Coos County Historical Society.[1]

History

On November 5, 1891, the Coos County Pioneer Association was established, which in time became the Coos County Historical Society.[1] The organization was focused on the pioneers of Coos County on the Southern Oregon coast. Later in 1941 the name changed to the Coos-Curry Pioneer Association to reflect the inclusion of members from neighboring Curry County.[1] The organization opened its first museum in Coquille in July 1947.[1] In January 1958 the museum moved to Simpson Park in North Bend.[1]

The historical society received a land donation in 2004 of a waterfront plot in Coos Bay.[1] After fundraising, construction of a new museum building began in 2011, with construction completed in February 2015.[2] The new museum building was opened on the city's waterfront in 2015.[3][4] The grand opening of the new museum was in September 2015, with Oregon Governor Kate Brown in attendance.[5]
