QUILTS:
History through Stitchwork
(Main Exhibit Room)
From quilts that tell the story of Lake Oswego to quilts that contain history themselves, come discover the power of stitchwork. We will have five quilts on display, most from the Oswego Quilters. One special quilt is on loan to us from the Lake Oswego School District and was created by Miss Barbara Wost's 5th grade class at Lakewood School for the bi-centennial. Just in time for this year's 250th anniversary of the United States!
This exhibit will be on display through September.
GLASS LANTERN SLIDES:
A 1920s View Around the World
(Meeting Room)
Throughout his career, Rev. William Wallace Youngson traveled all across the globe, taking extensive photographs of the places and people he saw. He would develop these (along with photographs from National Geographic) into glass lantern slides, some of which were then hand-painted for color, and use them in lectures.
The Oswego Heritage Council possesses 1,255 glass lantern slides once belonging to Rev. Youngson, along with lecture notes. Come discover hand-picked slides from Japan, Alaska, Egypt, Greece, and more!
