Coos History Museum – Your South Coast Adventure Starts Here

Happy Fourth of July Weekend!We are featuring some photos from our collection that show how our community has celebrated Independence Day in the past. The photo on the bottom right is a collage commemorating the 115th birthday of the United States which was celebrated in 1899. The collage contains three rows of photos, four in each row, of the celebration held in Marshfield on Tuesday July 4th 1899. The photos depict the celebration from that year including the parade along with the names of the organizing committee. This collage is a part of our permanent collection. The other photo is from a Fourth of July parade in Marshfield. You can see a crowd of spectators watching the decorated floats. The front float in the bottom left corner is labeled with a banner between the two front tires and says: "Business Woman's Club." Above this banner are plants that wrap around the entire float and wave even above the windshield glass. Inside are five young women in summer dresses. You can see there areseveral decorated cars. You can also see the Central Hotel and Eat Right Cafe on the left. The handwritten note on the back indicates the photo was taken about 1903, however the cars, clothing styles, and presence of railroad tracks place it in the 1920s.#coosbay #cooshistory #historymatters #photos #coosbayoregon #southernoregoncoast #july4th #happyjuly4th #independenceday #vintagephotos ...
