Exhibit: A Willamette Farmer’s Legacy – Thomas Dove Keizur

August 3 @ 8:00 am - August 28 @ 5:00 pm

An exhibit panel titled "A Willamette Farmer's Legacy Thomas D Keizur" with a black and white photo of a man in 1800s dress, a painting of Oregon Cirt in the 1840s, and a piece of paper showing 'Candidates for Office' with TD Keizer's name highlighted.

Thomas Dove (T.D.) Keizur was an involved resident of the Oregon Territory. Participating in the first Oregon election more than 180 years ago, serving as a pre-provisional legislator in 1844 and serving as the founding Captain of the Oregon Rangers, Keizur embodied “an Oregonian that got involved” in Oregon’s democratic process, which is the one of the core narrative goals of the Capitol History Gateway exhibit program.

This exhibit was sponsored by the Oregon State Capitol Foundation and is brought to us by the Keizer Heritage Museum.
