POTTSVILLE
Founded by Eugene "Debbs" Potts to commemorate Oregon's Centennial
in 1959, Pottsville is home to thousands of items commemorating
Oregon's history, from it's legislative halls to the local logging
woods. Pottsville is the "Home of Oregon Memories."
Step
back in time with two museums, a Pioneer Town and lots of Outdoor
Exhibits.
" I want to perpetuate a place where a poor man or
rich can go to look at things for free and learn a little about
Oregon History. People need to understand our past."
~ Debbs

WAYS TO
ENJOY POTTSVILLE
Horseback Riding/ Carts/
Buggies
Take a ride through history, whether it is
riding a horse or being pulled in a cart or buggy, there is lots to
see at Pottsville. We have many acres of land to ride your horse. Fee is $5 a day
or $60 a year. The yearly rate will have some restrictions as when
to ride such as "During an Event" or "Severe weather conditions".
Park and Walk - Leave your vehicle
in the parking lot or drive thru the gate and find some shade, then
"Take a Walk Through History". Our signs not only inform you about
the items on display but they offer clues into a linear history of
that era. If, by chance, we see you walking around and we are not
busy, we will be happy to show you the museums.
