SUMMARY:Lecture: 'The American Revolution — An Enduring Paradox' at Philomath Museum
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: The American Revolution — An Enduring Paradox\nSPEAKER: William G. Robbins\n\n\nSaturday\, May 16\, 10:30 a.m.\n\n\nThomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that “all men are created equal\,” but in 1776 this ideal did not apply to many groups\, including enslaved people\, women\, and Native Americans. Abraham Lincoln later argued the phrase was meant as a future goal\, while the document itself mainly justified independence by listing grievances against King George III. Despite its powerful ideals\, the Declaration included contradictions—such as its treatment of Native Americans—and its promise of equality remains something the United States continues striving to achieve.\n\n\nWilliam G. Robbins will talk about the ideals and contradictions in this important document\, as we contemplate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.\n\n\nSuggested donation of $5-10. These lectures are free to the public\, thanks to the support of our generous Historical Society donors and members like you!\n\n \n\n\nPhotography Notice: By attending this event\, you acknowledge and agree that photography and/or video recording may take place.

SUMMARY:Lecture: 'Museums A Place and A Practice' at Philomath Museum
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: Museums A Place And A Practice\nSPEAKER: Natascha Adams\n\n\nThursday\, May 7\, 10:30 a.m.\n\n\nMuseums are more than places that preserve objects—they are spaces where communities explore stories\, context\, and shared understanding. In this talk\, Benton County Historical Society’s Curator of Exhibitions\, Natascha Adams\, reflects on how museums and history organizations help communities document diverse experiences\, navigate complex issues\, and foster meaningful public dialogue. Through examples from her work in Oregon museums\, she highlights how storytelling and interpretation strengthen civic connection and community identity.\n\n\nNatascha Adams is the Curator of Exhibitions at the Benton County Historical Society\, where she leads dynamic\, story-driven galleries at the Philomath and Corvallis Museums. Her work is shaped by an international upbringing and a family history of migration\, fostering a deep commitment to belonging\, curiosity\, and connecting past and present. With an M.A. in Museum Studies and a diverse background spanning archaeology\, nonprofit leadership\, and community engagement\, she brings a multidisciplinary approach to revitalizing museums as vibrant public spaces. Above all\, Natascha is driven by a lifelong curiosity and a deep belief that history\, when told well\, has the power to strengthen communities.

SUMMARY:Benton County Genealogical Society Program at Philomath Museum
DESCRIPTION:In 2014\, Bob Taylor volunteered as a family history consultant at the new Sandy Granite Family History Center. He noticed that many guests to the center asked the same questions\, so he created a website to answer those questions. Using his background in instructional design\, he built a learning framework into the website: Projects\, Goals\, Choices\, and Steps.\n\n\nHe and Bob Ives\, the Technology Coordinator for the Sandy Granite Family History Center\, soon formed an LLC company to promote the website. This later became a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization\, The Family History Guide Association\, which opened the door to tax-deductible contributions. The Family History Guide website remains free to use and free of advertisements.\n\n\nSince then\, the website has grown and improved dramatically. Some notable milestones include\n\n\n\nLaunch of the website in 2015\nCreation of a Board of Directors and Management Team\nApproval by FamilySearch as an official training partner\nInclusion of Learning Paths on the website for Ancestry\, MyHeritage\, and Findmypast\nWelcoming visitors to the website from over 150 countries

SUMMARY:Benton County Genealogical Society Program at Philomath Museum
DESCRIPTION:Come and learn about some Benton County history.\nThis presentation is about Letitia Carson\, one of Oregon’s first Black pioneers. Born into slavery in Kentucky\, Letitia made the 2\,100+ mile Oregon trail journey in 1845 with her Irish husband\, David Carson\, giving birth along the way. They settled in the Soap Creek Valley in spring 1846\, but she was forced off the land in 1852. Letitia was a farmer\, mother\, midwife\, entrepreneur\, and likely the first Black woman in the country to receive a homestead patent under the 1862 Homestead Act. We will tell Letitia Carson’s amazing story and also share the origins\, partners\, and goals of the Letitia Carson Legacy Project.
