With restoration in 1986 the Tribes began to develop a full scope of programs which provide necessary services to Tribal members and the community. Today the Tribes operate with a budget of over $12 million annually, with over 30 different departments and services offered.

1920s Garden Party at Hanley Farm

Come dressed in your 1920s finest! Join the Southern Oregon Historical Society as we usher in summer on Sunday, June 15, with a 1920s garden party at SOHS Hanley Farm, located at 1053 Hanley Road in Central Point (just outside of Jacksonville). Between 5 and 8pm, you can enjoy live music, good drinks, tasty bites, and great company! And what better way to spend Father’s Day than to take your father (or husband) for a spin on the dance floor!

Tickets are $25 for adults; $10 for children 18 and under

1920s’ attire is optional, but you’ll definitely be in a “Roaring ‘20s” mood with an evening that includes:

  • Music by “The Bathtub Gin Serenaders” playing pre-WWII hot jazz and early blues classics from the American songbook (6 to 8pm).

  • An exclusive, “one night only,” tour of the historic Hanley House, featuring iconic outfits of the 1920s from the SOHS Collection.

  • Your choice of a sparkling non-alcoholic beverage and commemorative coupe glass for extra-fancy sipping!

  • Themed snacks for light munching.

  • Croquet on the lawn.

  • Photo ops galore at beautiful Hanley Farm, a National Register Historic Landmark

Arrive by 5:30 for a complimentary dance lesson before the band starts! And you’re welcome to bring a picnic to share with your family and friends. There will also be food available to purchase from The Toasted Cheese Truck.

So mark the calendar for June 15 and join us as we step back in time for a fun evening at a 1920s Summer Garden Party!

The Oregon Coast Music Festival (OCMF) has grown from a Coos Bay performance of Haydn music to a two-week-long annual festival that draws 5,000 to its varied concerts in several Coos Bay area locations. The OCMF had its beginnings in 1978, when Dr. Charles Heiden and his family moved to Coos Bay with the idea of encouraging local children to learn about orchestral music. Heiden, who had previously served as professor of violin at Willamette University, said he wanted to go somewhere “culturally impoverished,” to plant seeds of culture.
