A Century of Wonder: 100 Years of Oregon State Parks

For 100 years, Oregon State Parks have provided spaces for recreation and enjoyment in various natural environments across the state. In celebration of the centennial of the Oregon State Parks system which was commemorated in 2022, the Oregon Historical Society commissioned photographer Peter Marbach to document the beauty and geographic diversity that can be found throughout Oregon’s natural spaces. This traveling exhibit highlights a selection of Marbach’s photographs, showing numerous ways that Oregon State Parks have preserved natural and historic sites for Oregonians and visitors to appreciate for many years to come.
