Displays at the Picnic Pavilion

HARRISBURG MUSEUM! 

Harrisburg Area Museum received the 2007 Oregon Heritage Excellence Award.  This award  is  to "recognize individuals, businesses and organizations for outstanding efforts on behalf of Oregon Heritage."  The  Board of Directors of the  Museum , as well as all of the donors and supporters, are to be commended for their efforts.  This award is very much deserved and is very much a compliment to their efforts. 

Make sure you have plenty of time to stroll through the museum.  Reflect on life around Harrisburg in days gone by.  There is lots to see.

The Bruce Witmer exhibit is special and unique.  Bruce was a local man of many talents.  He made amazing miniature replicas of actual buildings and scenes out of wood, many containing thousands of pieces.  He also made intricately carved furniture and drawings of old Harrisburg.

Visit the renovated Victorian home full of memorabilia that is sure to put you in a bygone era.

First and foremost, the Harrisburg Area Museum is noteworthy for its collection of old farm equipment.  The equipment has been restored and can be operated.  It is antique! It is amazing! And there is lots of it!
