Linn County Historical Museum Trust, Inc.

The Linn County Historical Museum Trust and the Linn County Parks and Recreation Department have created a “Heritage Courtyard” just outside the front entrance to the museum. The Heritage Courtyard celebrates families and individuals who came to the Willamette Valley by 1950. It contains a wall created from purchased bricks etched with the names of family, friends, or loved ones. Visitors are encouraged to use the courtyard as a gathering and resting space.

The wall will continue to expand as more Heritage Bricks are purchased. These bricks help fund ongoing preservation and improvement projects for the Museum and the Moyer House. To purchase a Heritage Brick click on the link below. Each brick will cost $100.00 and is tax deductible.

Thank you for your support.
