Presentations with Darrell Jabin, Oregon's Traveling Historian

Darrell Jabin has been researching and sharing Oregon history since 2009 through videos, social media posts and informative and entertaining history presentations. He will give two talks on Saturday, October 25th, at the Pacific Maritime Heritage Center starting at 1pm. The first talk will be "31 Women; Oregon wouldn’t be the same without them!" They were pioneers, historians, authors, innovators and leaders. These women provided unique contributions to Oregon culture, business and government. The second talk will be "Sam Boardman and the history of Oregon State Parks." In 1922 an early Oregon pioneer donated the land to the state for use as a park. Oregon now has over 250 sites that offer scenic beauty, rest, recreation and education. Learn about Samuel Boardman, his efforts to build parks and how they tell stories about Oregon’s history.

There will be an intermission between the talks with snacks and refreshments. These free talks are brought to you by the Lincoln County Genealogical Society in partnership with the Lincoln County Historical Society.
