Membership Program

The History Center is the home of the shared stories of Linn County. Located in the historic Douglas Mansion, The History Center tells the stories of famous figures of the community and everyday residents; the rich and the needy; and those from every ethnicity and race who have populated Linn County. We are a community of immigrants, of strivers, of dreamers - and of the occasion rogue, as well.
