The Douglas County Museum was established by the Board of Commissioners in 1969 and opened its doors for the first time in conjunction with the opening day of that year’s Douglas County Fair. It has Oregon’s largest natural history collection on display with more than 7,500 items that tell both the ancient and contemporary stories of the Umpqua Valley.
