Redmond Museum is a volunteer-run historical museum located downtown.

The museum can trace its origins to a city-created commission tasked with preserving the artifacts and history of the Redmond area more than 25 years ago. More recently, the commission was disbanded in order to transition to a nonprofit able to receive grants and other tax-deductible support.

The Greater Redmond Historical Society now runs the museum, which is open seasonally. Volunteers are always needed.

The museum’s displays are updated annually and come from a mix of artifacts and memorabilia, from a full-sized organ from one of Redmond’s oldest churches to a collection of picking bags used during Redmond’s potato-growing heyday. Most artifacts have been donated by local families.

Information: Noon-4 p.m. Thursday-Saturday; closes for the season Dec. 6. 529 SW 7th St. 541-316-1777, www.redmondmuseum.org.
