I t was a component of the rapidly expanding industrial logging industry in the early 20th century\, and despite exclusion laws that made it illegal t o be Black in Oregon\, Bowman Hicks moved dozens of African American famil ies to northeast Oregon\, families whose members were skilled lumbermen in the American South. Until disbanded by the company in 1933\, some 400 res idents of Maxville harvested trees and lived their daily lives in a commun ity that included white and black neighborhoods and schools\, an integrate d baseball team\, a hotel\, a post office\, a jail\, an administrative cen ter\, and a narrow-gauge railway. \nMany residents\, including African Ame ricans\, remained living at Maxville through the 1940s\, and their descend ants still live in Wallowa County today. This archaeology exhibit explores the PNW timber industry\, diaspora and dislocation using geolocation meth odologies and archaeological protocols to uncover two dwellings that revea l insights over 100 years later of family\, daily life\, work\, and recrea tion activities of Maxville residents. \nThis online exhibit runs August 1 2 through September 18\, and is brought to us by Maxville Heritage Interpr etive Center. The exhibit is sponsored\, in part\, by the Oregon State Cap itol Foundation.

The exhibit is free and will be on display in th e Capitol’s Galleria September 3 through October 1\, and can be viewed d uring the Capitol’s building hours. \nThe exhibit traces the bridge’s origins to the Indigenous legend of “Tahmahnaw\,” a natural land bridg e formed by the massive Cascade Landslide Complex in the mid-1400s. From t here\, the exhibit follows the ambitious journey to build the modern span: the rise of automobile tourism along the Columbia River Highway\, entrepr eneur George S. Allen’s vision for a crossing at the Cascades\, the Brid ge of the Gods Corporation’s dramatic 1922 dedication ceremony\, and yea rs of financial struggles before the Wauna Toll Bridge Company stepped in to rescue the project. This culminated in an opening day celebration on Oc tober 26\, 1926 to mark the joining of two communities. The exhibit also c overs a remarkable engineering feat that came years later: when Bonneville Dam’s new reservoir threatened to swallow the bridge’s clearance\, th e entire span was raised 44 feet in 1940\, lifting it to its current heigh t of 140 feet above the Columbia River. Together\, these stories of geolog y\, Indigenous heritage\, entrepreneurial ambition\, and engineering ingen uity make Riveting History a rich celebration of a bridge that has become one of the Columbia River Gorge’s most beloved landmarks. \nThis exhibit was sponsored by the Oregon State Capitol Foundation and is brought to us by the Cascade Locks Museum.

This exhibi tion\, showcasing reproductions of 10 powerful portraits\, is free and ope n to the public during building hours. \nThe series of 10 striking portrai ts were commissioned by the Salem Art Association in 2022 as part of a bro ader effort to reinvent and reimagine the Bush House Museum. The vision of acclaimed artist Jeremy Okai Davis (left) guided the creation of each pie ce in the series. Davis’s work not only honors the individuals depicted but also challenges the historical narratives that have long sidelined the contributions of Black Americans. These portraits now reside in the perma nent collection at the Bush House Museum\, where they stand as declaration s of presence—a powerful reminder of the lives that have shaped our soci ety and deserve recognition. \n“As curators of the Bush House Museum as a historic site\, we recognize the harm Asahel Bush inflicted on people of color in Oregon\, and the creation of this exhibition marks a significant step toward addressing the underrepresentation of people of color in cult ural institutions\, including our own. The completion of this portrait ser ies\, three years after the initial commission\, is an acknowledgment of t he important contributions of Black individuals to the fabric of our state and a reflection of our commitment to honoring these legacies.” \nThis exhibit was funded\, in part\, by the Oregon State Capitol Foundation\, a nonprofit 501(c) 3.
