Explore Oregon’s Asian Heritage in the Atrium Room/Fine Arts Room

The Atrium Room will host displays of historic photos and news items about Lane County’s often forgotten Asian pioneers. See exhibits about a 1911 colony of Japanese immigrants near Eugene and the shameful Toledo Incident on the Oregon Coast.

Did you know that one of our most famous Oregonians was Bhagat Singh Thind? Or that men from Hawaii and Tahiti were at Fort Umpqua in 1836?  Look around the Atrium Room for these rare photographs from the collections of Stephen Williamson, Curtis Irish and other community historians. Slide shows will be at 10–12 both Sat and Sun.  www.asianoregon.org
