The Bandon Historical Society was founded in 1976 and is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with the mission of preserving and presenting historical material and artifacts related to the history of the Bandon area. The Society operates the museum at the corner of Highway 101 and Fillmore Avenue open six days a week 10AM-4PM (seven days a week in the summer), eleven months a year. Closed in January. Housed in a former Bandon City Hall, it was the second building constructed after the disastrous 1936 fire. Before moving into the current location, the museum was located in a historic bank building (currently the Masonic Temple) and the old Coast Guard building, now the home of the Port of Bandon. Bandon’s history museum shares the story of a town blessed by water and cursed by fire. Shipbuilding, shipwrecks, fires, beautiful beaches: all are on display. Bring the kids and have them take our History Detective’s Challenge.
