I loved the breadth of displays, much more than I expected. I especially liked the inclusion of interpretive information for youngsters. As new residents, it is important to learn the history of this place, and the Museum is a wonderful resource.

Im a sailor and and commercial fishman the museum is e very nice place for kids and the hole family

Nice little museum. They do a great job!

We greatly enjoyed this thoughtfully designed museum. I enjoyed the creative display of native tree species incorporating poetry, and light displays projected onto the floor when you enter. The current special exhibit A-Z was well done. Stop in and spend a rainy winter afternoon exploring local history.

Full of history of the area thats very interesting .Area artifacts and a information pertinent to Oregon coast.

Coos Bay Oregon well I was supposed to be my girlfriend there in Coos Bay and I got a message that she had been robbed at the bus station for $400 in Louisiana so we were to meet there and be at our best girlfriends house but without Nina this was not going to happen because her best friends boyfriend was very jealous and I was stuck out on the streets nowhere to go I didnt know anybody I couldnt get her best friend to come out and meet me face-to-face so I assume that this was just another scam so I found a place to stay and to sleep on the streets and I have my camera and I begin to take naps and illustrations I have made $300 in 3 weeks the people there were very generous and they were taking care of the needy the shelters on the other hand well not so generous I stayed at the house for seven nights and then you have to go back out on the streets for 7 days of course it was always more than seven but I managed to leave Coos Bay and I had went back to Salt Lake City Utah thats where I had came from I was supposed to meet Nina there as well but her and her best girlfriend or evicted from their apartment and they had left for Arkansas leaving me there by myself thinking what now so now Ive been here at the homeless shelter and Salt Lake City since then and meanwhile I have got rid of Nina this was an eight-month endeavor and attempted to be with somebody I really loved and wanted to share the rest of my life with but I couldnt bring myself to do it anymore I hated her for this show I have pictures to show for it and needless to say that the rain it would be warm at night and comfortable and then the day after it would be cool and getting cold and the day after that it would be down in the 30s degrees and all I had was one girl eventually I had gotten a couple of sleeping bags from somebody and that raincoat that I wear that was given to me as well people made sure that I had things to help me get by and without them I wouldnt have made it I may even go back there and retire I like to think that Ive been on one big adventure and hopes of being with the one that I love and that seems to change like the weather now for one to another many are scams and so few are not

Solid beginning presentation of local history. Inviting service staff. Extensive current supportive educational materials available in the gift store.COVID-19 protocols in use.

Weve never been in because of the high price of entry. Even Veterans rates are high. If they would lower their rates we would gladly enter and check them out.

Docents are wonderful and so was the museum...lots of interesting information.

Cool little history museum that gives you a quick rundown of the area with some artifacts to view. There are interactive stations for all ages to experience that was fun for the kids and adults. Upstairs is an exhibit for military tattoo art shown on the veterans photographed that is kind of a cool start to an awesome idea but could definitely be expanded on, still loved it. The staff is amazing. My favorite was the elderly man who talked lots, was great with the kids, and has lived in the area for 30+ years. He was youthful yet knowledgeable from time. Thank you!

Was a great place to visit! Volunteer was very sweet and helpful, even helped us find things in the gift shop! And gave us tips on local areas to visit. Would rate 10 stars if Google would allow it.

This was an awesome history lesson. So much to see and learn about local history. Very nice. Did have a lot of wasted space though.

Fantastic museum. Plan on 1 1/2 hours if you are one who tends to read the signs. There are quite a few artifacts. Well presented narrative of the history, growth, and development of the region. Very well organized.

Its really good, interesting, fun

I attended a Writers Conference here today Comfortable room with the beautiful water as a backdrop. Nice Gift Shop. I purchased a key chain in metal of the state of Oregon with a pine tree cut-out in the center. I love trees, Oregon and my home in Washington.

Owners were rude and snobbyWanted 7 dollars to show you things you can see for free outside of their doors.Owner followed me around like I was a smooth criminal. Obviously profiling. Could not rush me out of the museum fast enough. If I could rate it no , that would be nice.

I felt like I was just giving them a donation paying for this place.

You have to see for yourself. A lot of very interesting topics/items to check out! If I’m correct the young ;) man who educated us his name is John. A very respectable and knowledgeable man and a very clean environment.

So full of history and such unique items on display! Completely worth the entrance fee and with AARP, we saved a $1. The hostesses were knowledgeable and friendly!

Cool historical society!

This is a small information packed museum. There are several child friendly stations and many places to sit. A fantastic way to learn local history.

A look back at real Coos Bay history to current happenings in the Coos Bay area.A real treat to see the how my ancestors worked and help make the Coos Bay Area it is today. They even have an Olympic Gold medal on display. Can you guess who’s it is?An informative look at the History of Coos Bay.

Nice place has some stuff on logging, vets, and the local indians. I would like there to be a bit more although my understandings is that its ran by volunteers so cant complain.

Small but very nice museum. Volunteers John & his wife very nice & informative.2nd Sunday of the month is free entrance & sometimes has kids activities in the early afternoon. Be nice & give a donation.Ignore Lyndall Canter review & Harold Brown review. Dont know what museum they went to ...

Very interesting

Very informative tour! I finally found out why Coos bay and North bend have never merged

Its awesome if you like boats!

Lots of interesting pieces of history! Love the Morris Code machine that allowed us to play around with to understand how they communicated back then. Nice place!

Had fun

Excellent event venue. Had a catered reception with about 55 guests. Everybody enjoyed the view, parking was easy, and the catering company we chose (Wildflour) and museum were familiar with each other which made coordination very simple. Joni was great to work with, helpful, and flexible through the whole process.

Excellent staff (Barb & David) and informative displays. A really nice stop...

Nice friendly staff. Beautiful exhibts.

Interesting and informative. Gorgeous location on the water. A nice place.

Excellent museum. Lots of local history with welldone, informative displays.Nice gift shop and friendly, knowledgeable staff. We will definitely return.

Really cool museum had lots of fun in there!!

My daughter and I truly enjoyed the museum and all its stuff you can touch and feel. Needs more Indian artifacts.. The people are amazing there.. They know their history and facts.. We appreciate that theres still a museum to go to.. Sincerely.. Mellisa and Krystal spriggs

They do have free days which is nice when your on a budget. The staff are super friendly and helped answer all our questions.

I could and did spend hours roaming the gift shop. All educational delights to be had here. I wanted to do all my Christmas shopping in this wonderful place. I only wish it was bigger as there were so many neat things to discover there. Thank you coos bay history museum for getting this one right.

Learned a great deal about the. settlement of the area.

Great history information. Nice displays

So much fun.I LOVED the Veterans tattoo display.Staff is amazing.Thank you

$6.00 to get in very small museum. But kinda interesting.

This is the place to go if you are interested in the history of how this area developed, the Indians plight and great pictures.

Learned a lot about Coos Bay that I didnt know

Wonderful museum for kids and adults alike! The staff was friendly, and we had the opportunity to browse and learn at our own pace. Thank you!

Good little local history museum!

Our 3 year old loved the magnetic driftwood & magnetic build your own animals.

The museum has many exhibits that show the history of the local area. These exhibits are changed on a regular schedule so you may something completely different each time you visit.

This museum has an awesome bookstore and lots of treasures. The actual museum is spacious and clean, but the lighting puts glare and shadows on the displays, making them difficult to read. I also expected more displays, it doesnt take long to go through.

This small county museum has excellent displays, knowledgeable docents/volunteers and a well-stocked gift store for ages 3-93. There are varied and interesting programs about local history, as well.

Very awesome museum to go to we had a great time also check outside you could see some of the yard of facts around from the locals

Great place to visit. A lot of history.

Interesting museum. Would have stayed longer, but my four year old was on a mission to see boats that float.

Great on history of local area. Spent a good couple hours there. Lots to read so may not work for younger children.

Fun place to visit.

Nice little museum. Lots of great stuff to learn about the areas history.

This new location is 3 times bigger than the old museum. Its very well done with a rotation of exhibits, so youll probably see something new if you come multiple times. In addition, there are classroom and conference/banquet facilities that you can rent, and since it sits right on the bay, the views are great. Plans are in place to constantly improve the museum, so Ill be coming back for sure!

Nice, chatty volunteers. Exhibits are not yet all in place, but worth the price of admission. The display is laid out in 3 areas, as you follow the story. Begin at the far end, in the shore section. It is there the story behind with the native peoples.

It was ok, took me just over an hour to see the whole thing and I read just about everything in every exhibit.

Awesome, must see if in Coos Bay

Nice local place to find out about the local history. Great school program. Is good for kids, they have good interactive areas for them.

Dont miss this stop, rich with local history. Coos Bay and the region is connected to Americas lineage, and this is one place where history is still unfolding today. Surprise yourself. Get out of the rain for a bit and drench yourself in a very personal past.

Knowledgeable volunteers, friendly very interesting

Very interesting place

Nice museum. Great folks.

I enjoyed my experience. Really informative. Also, 2nd Sundays are Family Sundays and admission is free!

What a nice surprise this museum was! Lots of things to see in there.

Nice museum. Lots of local history about fishing, logging and industry in the Coos Bay/North Bend area.

Enjoy the history of the fellow Veteran Natives that serve in each conflict of war. Was very honored to see the fellow Native that was part of the flag raising on Iwo Jima that is a continuous symbol to today Veterans of this USA country.

Very interesting and educational

Museum was full of interestesting facts. Pleasant people more then willing to tell you more details.

Very informative. The gentleman at the desk knows a great deal about the local logging history.

Always enjoy my time at the museum

Had a great time very fun.

Pretty cool place. If your looking for something to do in Coos Bay, can be interesting to learn about the history.

Great place to visit and they are constantly changing the displays so you can return often and always see new things.

Friendly staff and a gorgeous meeting room

Great place to view the history of Coos and Northbend.

Nice displays, and pictures. Very interesting

This was a fun place, dont miss it.

The front sales clerk was rather rude to my granddaughter regarding the Celebration of Life function we were there fot

My grand daughter loved it

Not much of a museum. Mostly a gift shop

Displays well worth taking the time to stop for. Fees for museum.

Wonderful venue for a large gathering. Very impressed.

We didnt get a chance to go when they were open but they have some neat stuff outside. We will go back someday

Cute place, small town museum, nice staff. Interesting history.

The native American veterans display is enlightening.
