Memorial Courtyard

The Ann Deering Memorial Courtyard brings the museum outside for fair-weather activities. 

Permanent features include a vintage bicycle (circa 1960) and seating areas to enjoy the sunshine or a little shade.

You'll find native plant species, a rose bush brought to Union County on the Oregon Trail, and a beautiful Magnolia tree -- a rare sight for these parts.  

During the summer months' activities, you are likely to find live music, pioneer era demonstrations of trades, and community gatherings and educational events.
