 Oregon Museum of Science and Industry
The entity better known to my sons as the Coolest Museum Ever was born in 1896 in the brain of an engineer named John Stevens, who wondered publicly why Oregon’s largest city had no permanent place to collect and exhibit the state’s incredible wealth of natural resources.
After about 50 years, the Oregon Museum Foundation opened its first science exhibit in a downtown hotel; the museum then moved to a house in northeast Portland for a few years before hundreds of volunteers helped build the beloved first OMSI in Washington Park, the central jewel of Portland’s greenbelt necklace.
By the 1980s the museum was drawing some 600,000 visitors a year, overwhelming the brick barn raised by so many volunteers, and in 1992 the new OMSI opened—fittingly, on the site of an old sawdust–fired power plant donated by Portland General Electric.
