heritage house museum
The Oswego Heritage House Museum serves as an historic resource and focal point for our local history.
Experience Lake Oswego history like never before! Our newly renovated museum space features a timeline of Lake Oswego history from 15,000 years ago to today. With interactive elements and stories of people throughout time, you'll discover something new whether you're visiting or have lived here for 50 years. Alongside our permanent display, you'll find a rotating exhibit that changes every 6-8 months and a photo exhibit highlighting historic photographs from our collection. |
We encourage you to visit the Historic Rose Garden on the east side of our house and view a replica of an iron ore cart from when Oswego was "Pittsburgh of the West." The ore cart was donated to the Oswego Heritage Council by a local Boy Scout as his Eagle Scout project.
The Oswego Heritage Council was thrilled to be honored by City Council and Historic Resources Advisory Board on May 2, 2017, with their highest honor, The Preservation Merit Award, for the redesign of the Oswego Heritage Museum.
