The Coos History Museum announces that our Second Floor exhibit Healing Hands: A Sampling of the Medicinal History of Coos County is closing at the end of December 2025. Visitors are invited to view this exhibit one last time before it goes away at the end of this year.

Healing Hands will be replaced by Waves of Tradition, an exhibit which celebrates the diverse maritime traditions and scenic beauty of Oregon’s South Coast in conjunction with the United States’ 250th anniversary. Highlights include local cultural connections to shipbuilding, fishing industries, and traditional festivals, legends, and superstitions.

Admission to the museum is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors, and $5 for youth and includes both floors of exhibits. The museum is open Tuesday-Saturday from 10 AM - 5 PM, but please visit cooshistory.org for holiday hours. Stay tuned for more exhibit updates and opening dates coming soon!
