The Sherman County Historical Museum in Moro, OR is a national award-winning museum presenting Sherman County’s history and all about its community. 

Sherman County Historical Society (SCHS) was formed on July 4, 1945, with a picnic held at the park in Moro. 14 people gathered that day to organize a historical society. From the very beginning, it was the dream of the society to someday have a museum in Sherman County. https://www.shermanmuseum.org/full-sherman-history

The museum tells stories of Rural Living when the county was young. In the museum they honor Military Men and Women in a special section dedicated to their service. They curate three interpretive exhibits: Oregon Trails, Rails and Roads in Sherman County, Wheat through the Ages, and Cultivation, Conservation, & Clothespins.

The historic Sherman County Journal: Paper, Ink & Presses is housed in the museum, which is the full layout of printing presses and equipment that was used to print our local newspaper. You will be familiarized with Renewable Energy in Sherman County, a growing industry. The museum also celebrates locals who have given so much of themselves for and the community; sheriffs, local donors, founding benefactors, etc.
