Some thing is missing from our museum! We are looking for a few new volunteers to join our crew. It's easy and the only requirement is that you welcome visitors with a smile. You don't even need to know much about Seaside's history, we'll share that with you. Volunteers usually sign up for 1 to 3 days a month for a 2.5 hour shift. We're open Wednesdays through Saturdays 11 to 4.

If you are new to Seaside, consider joining us, you'll learn more about your new home. If you've lived in Seaside awhile (maybe even all your life as well as your parents and grandparents), we'd love to have you join us and share some of those memories.

Call (503-738-7067) email ([email protected]) or stop in when we're open and we'd love to share more with you.

There are other volunteer opportunities as well...

It's Montag Mondays with photos from Seaside photographer William Montag (1910s to the 1940s).

We continue with homes this month and here's what looks like two of them. check out all the trees surrounding the homes. These are likely somewhere between the Necanium River and the beach and within 6-7 blocks on each side of Broadway. Not so many trees today.

Anybody recognize where these homes are located? Let us know.

Stop by the Museum and check out the exhibit on our department's 122 year history including the 1904 hose cart and early equipment that was used to resuscitate those rescued from the ocean.

It's National Dessert Day and back in the 1930s and 40s you might have gone to Walker's Bakery for a lovely dessert, especially if you were having company. Walker's Bakery later became Harrison's Bakery (in the Gilbert Bldg.) famous for their beach bread and maple bars!

It's Montag Monday with photos by early Seaside Photographer William Montag and we're focusing on homes for a few weeks.

Do you know this house? If you do, please let us know. We'd love to put an address to the photo.

This interior photo was right next to this exterior in our files, but we don't know for sure if it is the interior of this home, but it fun to see what the inside of a Seaside home would have looked like 100 years ago.

In 1962, the Columbus Day storm hit Oregon and Seaside was spared the worst of the damage, with the Portland and Valley areas, hit hardest with winds exceeding 116 mph. It was considered a hurricane and the coastal areas were left without power for days and you were a lucky family if you had a fireplace or wood stove to keep warm and cook your meals.

Many trees went down in the forests surrounding Seaside and loggers were kept busy harvesting the downed trees.

It's Montag Mondays with photos from turn of the last century Seaside photographer William (Bill) Montag.

We've moved to his exterior photos and here's a home with a smaller cabin next door. Does this look familiar to anyone? Let us know if you can identify these homes.

It's International Coffee Day and here's a group of Seasiders enjoying a coffee break at Robb's Donut Shop, from a very attentive group of staff. This was located on Broadway, where the Carousel Mall is today.

Does anyone recognize Gene Legg? He was the pharmacist and owner of Legg's Pharmacy which was also located at the northeast corner of the current Carousel Mall.

It looks like a good day to get a coffee and maybe even a donut too!
