The term “folk music” is used to describe many musical styles and practices around the world, but what does it really mean? Join us for History Sips at Calapooia Brewing on Thursday, November 12th from 5-6 pm to learn about the history of folk music in the United States, hear how the genre’s meaning has evolved over time, and jam to some live tunes.

This event is free and open to the public!

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Riverside Cemetery on Wednesday for History Through Headstones! It was a beautiful evening of local history. Thank you also to all of our docents and volunteers who made the event so magical, and to Historic Preservation Northwest for providing a cemetery restoration demonstration. Until next year!

We are one week away from History Through Headstones! In this annual cemetery tour, docents share the life stories of some of the people interred at the Riverside Cemetery. We will be at the cemetery from 5-7 pm on October 14th with refreshments, beautiful scenery, and stories to tell. Come learn about local history with us!

Note: There will be no History Bites lecture on October 14th, as we will be busy preparing for the cemetery tour. We encourage our History Bites attendees to join us at the Riverside Cemetery that evening!

Happy October! Searching for a fall adventure? Look no further than this month’s reciprocal attractions, which ARM members can visit for free with up to three guests:

The first is World Forestry Center, a 501(c)3 nonprofit with 60 years of working at the intersection of people and forests. Its mission – to create and inspire champions of sustainable forestry – is centered on people. Through innovative programming, unconventional collaborations, and a revitalized urban campus, World Forestry Center is changing the way people see forests. The 5.5-acre campus in Washington Park features banquet and meeting halls, a central plaza, and the Discovery Museum, which invites visitors to examine forests and consider all the ways forests impact our lives; open Wednesday-Sunday from 11am – 4pm. See their website at www.worldforestry.org for more details.

The second is the North American Aerospace Museum (previously known as the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum), located in McMinnville. NORAM’s mission is to “inspire and educate all generations, to promote and preserve aerospace history, and to honor the patriotic service of those who have served our nation, both civilian and military.” To learn more about their exhibits, events, and hours of operation, visit their website at www.noramaerospace.org/.

As with all of our monthly reciprocal attractions, ARM members must show their proof of membership and photo ID to the gate attendants at the designated attraction to receive 4 free admission tickets.

This benefit is valid for the whole month and may be used as many times as you like at the featured attractions of the month. This benefit is solely for attraction admission during regular business hours; it does not extend to discounts on classes, store merchandise, or special events.
