Capital Campaign Complete
Our roof has been rebuilt and re-covered and our gutters have been replaced. Our roofing company, Landmark Roofing, did an amazing job, digging deep and finding the causes of our leaks. We are thrilled to know that our roof is sound and will be keeping us dry for many, many years to come. The gutters were replaced by Top Notch Roofing & Gutters, which will keep the water from dripping directly down the sides of our building, ensuring dry siding and windows. Our deepest appreciation goes to the Oregon Community Foundation, the Roundhouse Foundation and the Leo Adler Foundation for funding these projects.

Ann Bradford gave us a quick concert on the 4th of July, and considering this piano withstands 30 degree weather in the winter (our building isn’t heated), and 80 degree heat in the summer, it sounded darn good! Thank you, Ann!
New Eastern Oregon Museum Signs
Our EO Museum board is excited to announce our new signs have been ordered and should be up by the end of October. Our signs, advertising the museum on the Haines Highway (Highway 30) and at the Haines City Park, have been fading over the past few decades and we made the decision to purchase new ones. We loved the old-fashioned look of the originals, and even discovered that one of the signs, on the north side at the city park, was an original by the late Jack Stevens, who was an artist, entrepreneur and owner of Radium Hot Springs swimming pool for a number of years. The vote was unanimous to purchase new signs and use the old designs. Our local Oregon Sign Company was happy to help us out. Let us know what you think!
