SUMMARY:Ghosts of Modern Culture War: The 1920s Ku Klux Klan in Oregon and Tillamook County
DESCRIPTION:Presented by:David A. HorowitzProfessor Emeritus of History\, Portland State UniversityAuthor of Inside the Klavern: The Secret History of the Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s \nDate & Time:Saturday\, October 253:30 pm \nLocation:North County Recreation District36155 9th StreetNehalem\, OR \nAdmission:$10 at the doorProceeds benefit Nehalem Valley Historical Society education programs \n\nEvent Description\nThe Ku Klux Klan (KKK) arrived in Oregon in the early 1920s\, during the history of the second Klan. The Klan quickly spread throughout the state\, aided by a mostly white\, Protestant population\, as well as by racist and anti-immigrant sentiments which were already embedded in the region. \nMuch of the influence of KKK Tillamook Chapter No. 8 came between 1921 and 1928\, when the lodge pursued an anti-Catholic agenda and supported Prohibition and law enforcement through its dominance of local government\, the police\, and the courts. \nUltimately\, the struggles and decline of the Klan in Oregon coincided with the struggles and decline of the Klan in other states\, and its activity faded in the 1930s. \nProfessor Horowitz will present the story of the impact of the Klan in Oregon and its presence in Tillamook County. Join us to hear and learn about this important and challenging era in our history. \n\n👉 Hosted by the Nehalem Valley Historical Society

SUMMARY:Seaside’s Rock ’n’ Roll Riots: 1962–1964
DESCRIPTION:Presented by R.J. Marx \nSaturday\, January 17\, 2026 — 3:30 PMNorth County Recreation District36155 9th Street\, Nehalem \n$10 at the doorAll proceeds benefit NVHS education programs. \nThe Nehalem Valley Historical Society invites you to a fascinating presentation by R.J. Marx\, author of Seaside’s Rock ’n’ Roll Riots: 1962–1964 and former editor of the Seaside Signal and South County reporter for The Astorian. \nThe Riots That Shocked the Coast\nOn Labor Day weekend in 1962\, thousands of young people gathered on the Seaside beach to hear a concert featuring Paul Revere and the Raiders. What began as a weekend of music quickly spiraled into chaos after a downtown fistfight ignited widespread unrest. \nWhat followed was unprecedented on the Oregon Coast: \n\n\nCrowds — often referred to as “wolf packs” — assaulted police with eggs\, bottles\, and stones. \n\n\nThe lifeguard tower was toppled. \n\n\nPolice and firefighters fought back with nightsticks and axe handles. \n\n\nStorefront windows were smashed\, cars were damaged\, and violence spilled into surrounding neighborhoods. \n\n\nThe situation drew national attention\, including interest from the FBI. \n\n\nThe riot of 1962 became the catalyst for two more explosive Labor Day weekends in 1963 and 1964\, forcing Portland police squads to assist local law enforcement. Fire hoses were deployed on the crowds — only to be “slashed to ribbons” by rioters wielding switchblades\, according to reports from The Oregonian. \nA Story That Defined an Era\nThese three years of unrest are chronicled in Marx’s compelling book\, Seaside’s Rock ’n’ Roll Riots 1962–1964: How a Coastal City’s Labor Day Riots Heralded a Decade of Unrest. His presentation brings these dramatic events to life through firsthand reporting\, historic records\, and vivid storytelling. \n\nDate: Saturday\, January 17\, 2026Time: 3:30 PMLocation: North County Recreation District\, 36155 9th Street\, NehalemAdmission: $10 at the door (supports NVHS education programs) \nJoin NVHS and R.J. Marx for an unforgettable look at one of the most unusual and explosive chapters in Oregon Coast history.

SUMMARY:Thirty Years Later:
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 14\, 2026 — 3:30 PMNorth County Recreation District36155 9th Street\, Nehalem \n$10 at the doorAll proceeds benefit NVHS education programs. \n \nIn January of 1996\, a prolonged cold spell left deep snow piling up in the mountains. Then the weather shifted. Warm\, monsoon-like rains fell relentlessly\, sending torrents of water rushing down overloaded rivers and creeks. Stream banks were torn apart\, side canyons were blown out\, and massive logs were carried downstream as raging floodwaters tore through communities across Tillamook County. \nHomes and businesses were submerged. Dairy farms lost their herds. Roads washed away. For many families\, life was changed forever. \nThirty years later\, the Nehalem Valley Historical Society invites you to come together to remember this defining moment in our region’s history — to honor the heartbreak\, but also to celebrate the strength of a community that stepped up to help neighbors in need. \nPanel Presentation\nJoin us for a special panel presentation hosted by: \nMark BeachVivi Tallman \nThey will share personal reflections\, historic accounts\, and invite audience members to tell their own flood stories. \nCome Share Your Story\nDo you remember the flood of 1996? Were you affected\, or did you help in the recovery efforts? This event is your chance to preserve those memories and ensure they become part of our shared local history. \n\nDate: Saturday\, February 14\, 2026Time: 3:30 PMLocation: North County Recreation District\, 36155 9th Street\, NehalemAddmission: $10 at the door (supports NVHS education programs) \nWe look forward to seeing you and hearing your stories.

SUMMARY:NEHALEM VALLEY HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRESENTS
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 181–4 pm atNehalem Valley Historical Society225 Laneda Ave. Manzanita \n$10 at the Door  \n\nBook Event:Meet authorGary Hayes \n\nOnce an unknown spot on the world map\, the Oregon Coast has been the site of both inspiration and tragedy over the course of its history. \nA driving force of America’s Western migration\, the rise of logging and fishing industries that sustained new settlers also contributed to the devastating decline of Native people and their way of life. The industrial age brought steamboats\, railroads\, and roads for automobiles to the area and\, along with them\, a blossoming tourism industry. Preservation efforts rose to the forefront as visitors and locals sought to save the unique facets of the coast for future generations. \nJoin author Gary Hayes as he explores the maritime heritage of one of the most spectacular places on earth\, the Oregon Coast. \n\nHistoric Tales of the Oregon CoastFrom Shipwrecks to Scenic DestinationGary Hayes
