As you enter the museum of Coos County Historical Society you will notice the Steam Donkey that is displayed outside. Steam donkeys were used to haul felled logs to landings in the Coos County forests in the late 1800's and early 1900's. To the left of the entrance you may notice a small but distinguished tribute to the brave defenders of our nation. This plaque shows that Highway 101 has been designated as a Blue Star Memorial By-Way. But the most interesting things you'll see when you come inside and visit our wonderful exhibits!

You can see what is going on at the aquarium anytime night or day. Visit with some super-cool sharks, watch rays glide by, or experience the graceful movements of the Oregon Moon Jelly ... right from the comfort of your chair. The Aquarium is home to several species of fish, sharks, birds, jellies and marine mammals. For example, the Aquarium is home to four species of Oregon seabirds and one shore bird species. While these species maintain robust populations of the Oregon coast, they are seldom seen. Seabirds live on the open sea except during the breeding season, when they come to remote rookeries for a brief summer season. The black oystercatcher, a shore bird, keeps to remote rocky beaches where human contact is rare. Oregon > Newport > Attractions

Surrounded by the same stately trees for which it was named, The Oaks, in Portland, Oregon in 2005 will celebrate its 100th consecutive year of operation, making it one of the oldest continuously operating amusement parks in America. Built by the Oregon Water Power and Navigation Company, the park opened its gates on May 30, 1905 to Portlanders who arrived by foot and on horseback, in automobiles and by boat from the Willamette River. In keeping with the design of other "Trolley Parks" across the country, most of its visitors disembarked from trolley cars which ran along the Portland-to-Oregon City tracks forming the eastern boundary of the park.
