The Deschutes Historical Museum is currently hosting the exhibit Timber Culture, a traveling exhibit from the Maxville Heritage Interpretive Center. The exhibit explores the lives of loggers and their families drawn together from different cultures during the great migration of African Americans from the South, and presents an inclusive look at Oregon’s mulitcultural logging comunities. In sharing and discussing the history of the segregated logging community of Maxville, Oregon, the exhibit examines issues of race and social justice through the lens of Oregon’s history.
