Celebrate Oregon’s birthday in style at the Oregon Historical Society! Oregon shares its birthday with Valentine’s Day–what could be a better way to celebrate the holiday than by professing your love for Oregon? The celebration begins on Sunday, February 14 at noon in the Oregon Historical Society pavilion (1200 SW Park Ave., Portland). Join Pink Martini’s Thomas Lauderdale for the singing of “Happy Birthday,” along with former Oregon Governors Ted Kulongoski and Barbara Roberts and Senator Ron Wyden. Feast on free cake from Gerry Frank’s Konditorei and meet Gerry himself as he signs copies of the latest edition of Gerry Frank’s Oregon. As a birthday gift for all Oregonians, admission will be free all day (11am — 5pm) to the Oregon Historical Society’s museum! February 14 is the final day to see the compelling exhibit The Art of War: Propaganda Posters of World Wars I & II. The Oregon Historical Society is also proud to host Chinese American: Exclusion / Inclusion, on display now through June 1, 2016. On loan from the New-York Historical Society, this exhibition will make its only appearance on the West Coast at OHS before being sent to China for display.
