Plan your visit to the museum on a Friday and enjoy chatting with a Gallery Docent or engaging with the EDU Cart. - Gallery Docents specialize in a specific gallery, so ask at the front desk for their location and dive deep into the nitty gritty. - EDU Carts showcase touchable items related to the gallery they set up in. These are great for learners of all ages who want to get hands on with maritime history. This month we share Peggy at the Cedar and Sea EDU Cart. One of these offerings are available in the museum on Fridays from 10:30 AM – 12 noon.

Hours: January 30, 2026, 10:30 am - January 30, 2026, 12:00 pm

Ten Fifteen’s 2026 Season Kicks Off with a Constitutional Exploration

Ten Fifteen Productions’ 2026 Season, America the Beautiful?, will begin later this month with What the Constitution Means to Me. This exploration of the blueprint of our country will help to set the tone of national self examination over the course of the year. Sponsored in part by a grant from the Clatsop County Cultural Coalition, the production dates and venue have been changed from the original announcement due to repairs occurring at the organization’s home in the Odd Fellows Building.

About the Show:
Playwright Heidi Schreck’s boundary-breaking play breathes new life into our Constitution and imagines how it will shape the next generation of Americans. Fifteen-year-old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States. In this hilarious, hopeful and achingly human new play, she resurrects her teenage self in order to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives.

Brandy Hussa
Peter Curtis
