SUMMARY:Exhibit - "Riveting History: 100 Years of the Bridge of the Gods"
DESCRIPTION:Riveting History: 100 Years of the Bridge of the Gods celebrates the centennial of the iconic steel cantilever span that has connected Cascade Locks\, Oregon and Stevenson\, Washington across the Columbia River since October 26\, 1926. The exhibit is free and will be on display in the Capitol’s Galleria September 3 through October 1\, and can be viewed during the Capitol’s building hours. \nThe exhibit traces the bridge’s origins to the Indigenous legend of “Tahmahnaw\,” a natural land bridge formed by the massive Cascade Landslide Complex in the mid-1400s. From there\, the exhibit follows the ambitious journey to build the modern span: the rise of automobile tourism along the Columbia River Highway\, entrepreneur George S. Allen’s vision for a crossing at the Cascades\, the Bridge of the Gods Corporation’s dramatic 1922 dedication ceremony\, and years of financial struggles before the Wauna Toll Bridge Company stepped in to rescue the project. This culminated in an opening day celebration on October 26\, 1926 to mark the joining of two communities. The exhibit also covers a remarkable engineering feat that came years later: when Bonneville Dam’s new reservoir threatened to swallow the bridge’s clearance\, the entire span was raised 44 feet in 1940\, lifting it to its current height of 140 feet above the Columbia River. Together\, these stories of geology\, Indigenous heritage\, entrepreneurial ambition\, and engineering ingenuity 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibit: "ReEnvisioned: Contemporary Portraits of Our Black Ancestors"
DESCRIPTION:Salem Art Association presents “ReEnvisioned: Contemporary Portraits of Our Black Ancestors” from January 26 to March 4. This exhibition\, showcasing reproductions of 10 powerful portraits\, is free and open to the public during building hours. \nThe series of 10 striking portraits were commissioned by the Salem Art Association in 2022 as part of a broader effort to reinvent and reimagine the Bush House Museum. The vision of acclaimed artist Jeremy Okai Davis (left) guided the creation of each piece 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 permanent collection at the Bush House Museum\, where they stand as declarations of presence—a powerful reminder of the lives that have shaped our society 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 cultural institutions\, including our own. The completion of this portrait series\, three years after the initial commission\, is an acknowledgment of the 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.

SUMMARY:VFW #661 Military Uniform Display
DESCRIPTION:Salem is home to a vast and valuable collection of military uniforms. The collection was started more than 30 years ago by H.A. “Mac” MacDonald\, a retired Marine Corps lieutenant colonel who served during the Korean and Vietnam wars. \nMacDonald was working as a lobbyist for various veterans’ organizations when he was asked if he knew anyone who would be interested in an unwanted military uniform. MacDonald was\, and from that single donation grew a collection that today has 2\,200 uniforms. \nYou may have seen past exhibits at the Capitol\, or perhaps at the Marion County or state fair. But what you might not know is that every exhibit is different. Come and explore the uniforms during this annual exhibit which runs April 6-30\, 2027.
