Crossroads Lecture Series
The Washington County Historical Society and Museum is proud to present and host Crossroad Lectures. "While Hillsboro functioned as the county seat, other settlements, located at various crossroads, evolved as centers where farmers from the surrounding area could bring their produce to trade for supplies; pick up their mail, have their wagons repaired, their horses shod, and their plows sharpened; and take advantage of some professional services." (This Far-Off Sunset Land)
Crossroads Lectures take place on the third Wednesday of every month from 3:30-4:30 p.m. Admission is $3 per person. Lectures are free to WCHS members, employees of corporate members, and PCC faculty, staff, and students. All ages are welcome. Parking is free in lot A or C with a permit available at the museum.
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions for our lecture series please call the museum at (503) 645-5353. We hope to see you here!
