What happened in 1910 to propel Jerome Thomas (pictured below) into Lake Oswego History?
Stay tuned to the end of the newsletter to find out more!
Thank you to all those who attended this year's Collector Car & Classic Boat Show! Even with the heat, we had a great attendance and a great show, bringing in over $25,000 for the Oswego Heritage House! As our largest fundraising event of the year, this show funds our free museum exhibits, educational programs, and general operations at the Heritage House, allowing us to bring you history throughout the year.
Speaking of bringing you history...
The main exhibit hall will be closed for the majority of this month. We are busy touching up the place and will be putting together a brand new exhibit all about Lake Oswego history. Our members will get a special preview for the new exhibit in a few weeks, so keep your eye on your email for upcoming details!

HAPPY 60TH REUNION TO THE
LAKE OSWEGO HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1965!
The graduating class of 1965 hosted their reunion at the Oswego Heritage House, and we couldn't have been happier! Several of these long-standing community members have served on our Board of Directors or are current members of the museum. They hold onto so many memories of Lake Oswego, including of times when it was just "Oswego"!

Did you figure out what happened in 1910 to propel Jerome Thomas (pictured below) into Lake Oswego History?
The City of Oswego, which included just First Addition, was incorporated. Jerome Thomas was elected as Oswego's first mayor that same year! Thirteen years after its incorporation, Old Town and South Town would support annexation and join the City of Oswego.
