[or-roots] Open House at State Archives

[SAWYER Layne G * SOS]

Calling all Oregon history and game lovers!

On Saturday, October 21 from 10 am to 3 pm the Oregon State Archives will hold its Annual Open House in celebration of National Archives Month. Please join us for this fun and fascinating family friendly event to learn about Oregon's history and to interact with Oregon's historic documents and records. You might even learn something about your own history in the process.

Guests of all ages will participate in activities featuring Oregon's colorful trademarks, photographs, and original records representing Oregon's diverse regional landscapes, economy, and natural beauty and play "Game of Oregon." Inspired by the popular book and television series - Game of Thrones, "Game of Oregon" invites you to experience the "Seven Kingdoms" of Oregon (the Coast, Willamette Valley, Central Oregon, Eastern Oregon, Southern Oregon, Mt. Hood and Columbia River Gorge, and Greater Portland). Guests will also test their knowledge skills, and luck by using historical records from the State Archives. Activities include games of chance, puzzles, coloring, and trivia. Prizes and giveaways will be featured throughout the day!

In addition to games and activities, behind-the-scenes tours of the Archives will be given and guests will be able to view our newly installed gallery exhibit showcasing Oregon's "Seven Kingdoms."

This event is free, and light refreshments will be provided.
