Washington County Museum relocating to PCC Rock Creek Campus

The Washington County Museum announced on Sept. 5 that it plans to operate from one consolidated location and relocate its exhibits from the downtown Hillsboro location to the Museum’s existing facility on the Portland Community College (PCC) Rock Creek campus.

The Hillsboro location will remain open for all patrons through the free admission Family Day on Sat., Sep. 9, 10 am-5 pm. Exact details of the Museum’s operating days and hours in the PCC location, as well as the timing of future exhibits, are still being finalized. Field trips will likely resume in late October or November.

The Washington County Museum/Washington County Historical Society Board of Directors approved the plan to consolidate operations at the Rock Creek campus as part of an effort to refocus on outreach to Museum patrons throughout Washington County.

The Museum’s traditionally strong educational programs, such as field trips, exhibits, events, public programs and opportunities for historic research, will continue. While the Museum will continue to examine its physical space needs in the future, the shift to the PCC Rock Creek campus will allow Museum staff to reimagine what a museum means to a community and reimagine its approach to community outreach.
