What does it mean to be healthy? How do we as a society promote health in our community? Find out at our new special exhibit 6/2 - 10/7!

In this heritage invitational exhibit we asked Mid-Willamette Valley museums and community organizations to share an artifact and its history to help us piece together the story of what it has meant to be healthy in the past and how that has changed over time.
