The Coos County Historical Society, founded in 1891 is a private, not-for-profit organization supported entirely by memberships, donations, admission fees, bookstore income, and grants. We are recognized as a 501(c)(3) organization by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service: tax ID # 93-0446513.

You may donate by check or credit card, over the phone or online. Donations to the organization are tax-deductible.

We implement our mission through professional staff under the direction of a dedicated Board of Trustees, with the invaluable assistance of literally hundreds of volunteers.

@OregonBottleDrop will celebrate Oregon’s iconic Bottle Bill with its annual #HiddenBottleHunt from July 3-7! It’s a statewide search for six commemorative bottles hidden in six locations across Oregon. Be sure to follow along each day for clues on where to find them! Bottle finders get to keep the commemorative bottle and direct a $1,000 donation to a BottleDrop Give nonprofit of their choice. THAT COULD BE US, so help us spread the word!
