Featured Exhibits
April 1st is the last day to see Racing To Change. Come visit before it’s gone!
Lane County History Museum recognizes the history of injustice against the diverse peoples of our community by the perpetuation of racist ideologies and by omission from the activities and collections of our organization.
As stewards of history-related collections, we must work to be inclusive and equitable in all aspects of our organization, or otherwise we will be complicit in systemic prejudice. Lane County History Museum is committed to uncovering local history that confronts internal biases and includes what is absent in order to expand our understanding of Lane County’s past.
For more information on our diversity, equity, accessibility and inclusion goals and the actions planned to meet those goals, read our action plan below.
