We are excited to kick off 2026 with a new lecture series, Heritage Talks. This series offers a deeper look into the rich history of the Bush House Museum.

Time: The talk will begin promptly at 1:30pm and will conclude at 2:30pm.

Location: Bush House Museum, Mission Street Southeast, Salem, OR, USA

About the presenter:

Bill is a volunteer docent at Bush House Museum who has always been interested in history, especially in the lives of common people in the past.  His curiosity about the life experiences of working women and men employed at Bush House led him to do research with Bush House staff.
