Welcome to our blog!
The Siuslaw Pioneer Museum exhibits include historical items of the Siuslaw Valley and its surrounding areas. Many of the artifacts were made or used in the every day life of our pioneers. The Museum will be closed December 16 through February 4. We will be working on special projects and re-opening on Wednesday, February 5, 2025 to resume our regular schedule of Wednesday through Sunday, noon to 4 p.m. We look forward to your visit in 2025!
