The Coos History Museum faces Coos Bay along Highway 101 frontage. With ever-changing exhibits, event and rental space, a unique museum shop and a developing bayfront plaza, this community built facility opened new in 2015.

Formerly known as Coos Historical and Maritime Museum, the Coos Historical Society was founded in 1891, this is one of the oldest continuously operating local historical societies in Oregon. It boasts more than 250,000 historic photographs (reproductions are available) and more than 40,000 artifacts. The county's diverse history is communicated through artifacts and images, including items associated with the Coos and Coquille Indians, and with later coal miners, loggers, ranchers, and shipbuilders. Local shipwrecks are chronicled, along with frequently changed exhibits on a wide variety of topics from pre-history to the present.

The museum's gift and book shop carries more than 50 titles concerning local natural and cultural history, coastal access and tourism routes as well as gifts.

Hours: Tuesday - Sunday 10am - 6pm. Admission rates subject to change, Adult $7 Kids age 5 - 17 $3 and Family rate $17 maximum.  Free to under age 4, active duty service personnel and CHM members.

The winter version of the Wednesday Farmer's Market is currently at the museum community room weekly from 10am to 2pm with free admission.
