Mission Statement: To preserve, exhibit and encourage knowledge of the history and culture of Albany, Oregon, and its immediate surroundings through collection of artifacts, documents and photographs.

The Albany Regional Museum is a non-profit organization incorporated by the State of Oregon to acquire, document, preserve, and interpret materials that illustrate the history and development of Albany, Oregon, and those areas within its sphere of influence.

The goal of the Albany Regional Museum is to be a first class museum, with educational exhibits and interactive events all open and accessible to the public. The museum has been successful in acquiring and displaying a variety of artifacts representing the history of the Albany area.

There is no fee to visit the museum. However, donations are most appreciated. Volunteers run the museum, with the help of an administrative coordinator and two part-time staff members. The Board of Directors oversees the operation and development of exhibits. Donations and volunteers have enabled the museum to be open six days a week.

The museum has become a community treasure, preserving and displaying thousands of precious artifacts and historical materials for the enjoyment of visitors. Visit us soon!

Museum hours are noon to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. Closed Sunday.
