More glitz and glamour than you've seen all year!

Ginger Rogers Fashion Show!

SOHS will be hosting a fashion show of glamorous dresses worn by our very own Hollywood star, Ginger Rogers. While not originally from the Rogue Valley, Ginger purchased a 1000 acre ranch along the Rogue River in the early 1940s and retired to the Rogers Rogue River Ranch in 1969 after she sold her Beverly Hills home.

Twenty-two dresses from her estate will be featured in a fashion show to be held on Sunday, May 1 at the Rogue Valley Country Club. The show will be a fundraiser for SOHS.

Want to join in the fun? Come to an informational planning meeting this Thursday, January 27 at 4 pm at the History Center (106 N. Central Avenue in Medford). We are looking for volunteers to help plan and coordinate this fun event!

First Community Forum this Saturday!

Our first community forum for History: Made By You will be held Saturday, January 22 at the City Council Chambers of Central Point, 140 S. Third Street, beginning at 9 am.

History: Made By You is the Southern Oregon Historical Society's new traveling exhibit outreach program. Every quarter, we will host a forum in a different community at which we will discuss current events and then explore them through their historical roots. At the end of the forum, we will ask the audience to select one topic that will be developed into a traveling exhibit that will be displayed in their community. We will also ask for volunteers who want to work hand-in-hand with historical society staff to create the exhibit - conducting research, selecting artifacts, finding photos, and so on.

History: Made By You - exhibits of the people, by the people and for the people!
