lisha Hamel from the Historical Outreach Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit, will be at the Museum on Sunday, February 14th at 1pm to do a presentation about “Oregon's Role During WWII.”
This talk will include Tillamook's special role with the mission of searching for Japanese submarines along the Oregon coastline.

The free presentation will include a touchable display of actual WWII items and interaction with the audience. The display includes items such as a WWII helmet, various jackets and coats, part of a captured German teletype machine, a German gas mask, and medals that were awarded to the Soldier that the St. Helens' Armory was named after along with many other items.
