Oswego Heritage Council upcoming events

Exhibit Opening (06/27/2026)

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 18:00:00 GMT

From quilts that tell the story of Lake Oswego to quilts that contain history themselves, come discover the power of stitchwork. We will have five quilts on display, most from the Oswego Quilters. One special quilt is on loan to us from the Lake Oswego School District and was created by Miss Barbara Wost's 5th grade class at Lakewood School for the bi-centennial. Just in time for this year's 250th anniversary of the United States!

Fourth of July Parade (07/04/2026)

Come show your pride in local history!

We're looking for people to march with the Heritage House during the Fourth of July parade! With the 250th anniversary of the United States, it's a great time to show some pride in local history too. We'll be parading with a vintage car, but we want to highlight different eras of Lake Oswego history, and we need your help to do it! Bring your friends and family to join us, dress up in historical clothing, and walk (or ride!) with us.
