2ND ANNUAL BOOTLEGGER'S BALL
Founded in 2014, the West Linn Historical Society is a membership organization created for the purpose of preserving, maintaining, collecting and sharing the rich history of the West Linn area of Oregon. The West Linn Historical Society endeavors to become the principal community organization dedicated to providing education for the community about the cultural heritage of West Linn and surrounding area. We are committed to serving the community as a comprehensive organization that fosters the development and support of relationships with local residents, area schools, the City of West Linn, and organizations preserving local historical landmarks.
Step back in time to the 1920s, when the music was big and the booze was illegal! There will be live jazz music, light dining, and for those willing to bend the rules, for those who have the secret invite, a burlesque show in our speakeasy soiree. Don your skirts that fall above your ankles, put on your best suits and biggest hats, and be prepared for a night of vices, history, and fun.
The Bootlegger's Ball is a fundraising event for the Oswego Heritage Council and the West Linn Historical Society. Donations will benefit both historical organizations. There will be a silent auction, live jazz band, prohibition-style drinks, the optional speakeasy show which features burlesque professionals, and other opportunities to give.
Dressing up is encouraged, but not required!

Calling all kids in grades K-5!
Join the West Linn Historical Society as we travel back 200 years to a trading post formed by Oregon Natives and pioneers near the Willamette Falls. Learn some Chinuk Wawa trade language, forage for food (snacks), “fish” for salmon, make a beaded bracelet, and learn about how waterfalls are formed.
