Hello everyone, thank you ahead of time for reading my review. I am amazed that there are not many more negative reviews on the site. This museum would be better called the Oregon Victimhood Society. Almost every single exhibit focuses on the prejudice that non white males faced and they all go hand in hand in order to tie back in together to shame our nations/states historic figures in white men. There is definitely a bias against white men here and it could not be more clear that whoever curated this museum/whoever allowed it to happen have it out for white men. There were almost zero parts in the entire museum that even mentioned white men in a non shameful manner. Not only did it seem as if the museum were created by a social Justice warrior, they did not even have the peace and friendship medal or Captain Lewis branding iron on display, in which was the main reason I came. This museum either needs to start celebrating the great achievements and historical accomplishments of white men in this state/country or change their name entirely, because this is not a historical museum in the traditional manner at all. It is important to learn about the hardships that all peoples faced in this country so we can understand our history better and shape our future in a more fitting way, but we must not be ashamed of our white history. Instead we should celebrate our white history and take what we see as negative with a pinch of salt and realize that what happened in our past does not entirely dictate our future and our great accomplishments are certainly nothing to be ashamed of. Do better Oregon Historical Society. Thank you to all who read my review.
