Recenter Map To This Location

Take a self-guided tour through the Portland! exhibit at the Oregon History Center located at 1200 SW Park Avenue. It’s a marvelous orientation to the area’s history, beginning with the 1840s when the first European and American settlers arrived, and continuing to the present day. Notice the “copper” displayed at the exhibit entrance. It was used in the now-famous coin toss of 1845, by which city builders Asa Lovejoy of Boston, Massachusetts and Francis Pettygrove of Portland, Maine decided the name of their new city! (Open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm; till 8 pm on Thursday; and Sunday from noon to 5 pm; 503-222-1741, www.ohs.org.)
