Come explore a hidden gem of Oregon’s timber history - when Black loggers seeking work and racial equality helped shape Oregon’s forestry industry. “Timber Culture” is a traveling exhibit of 20 photographs depicting multi-racial logging communities in Oregon from the early 1900s. This exhibit is a historical recounting of how communities of African-American and Asian-American workers helped build Oregon’s timber economy.
