Brandville School and Museum Complex

Venue Reviews  |  Posted by: Tedd Long  |  01/11/2020

The red brick one-room school built in 1882 is the perfect setting for the Oregon-Jerusalem Historical Society Museum on Grasser Street in Oregon. Open for exhibits just three days per month, keep your eyes peeled as you approach the Brandville Schoolhouse—it sits inconspicuously in an Oregon neighborhood and is easy to miss. The little schoolhouse includes space dedicated to local historical items and a meeting room for lectures and public meetings. While they're standard hours are limited each month, the Oregon-Jerusalem Historical Society is a very active group so you'll want stay tuned to their Facebook site to keep up on their special events, including teas, lectures, genealogical workshops, potlucks, and tours.     

More information for planning your visit is available at the Oregon Jerusalem Historical Society Facebook Page.
