The Clatsop County Historical Society is featuring two new exhibits on display at its Heritage Museum in Astoria, Oregon. Both displays highlight Astoria's growth and the development of the surrounding region with historical documents from its archive and research library.
The show Sign of the Times depicts Astoria at various points in time over the past 125 years. The display features a collection of historic, hand-painted signs and is augmented by the museum's extensive collection of photographs.
The Model City exhibit uses scale models to examine how the region has been both planned and promoted over the years. This display includes topographic maps and models created by local architect Ebba Wicks Brown for her 1946 Master's thesis. Here, Wicks Brown proposed the future development of both Astoria and nearby Warrenton as she imagined it in 1990 and 2000. Her work will appear alongside similar scale models offering differing visions of the area.
Both exhibits will be on view through March 2021. Clatsop County Heritage Museum, 1618 Exchange St., Astoria (503) 338-4849
