Pathways To Discovery

"Our past is our present to you"

Located in Reedsport on the central Oregon coast the Umpqua Discovery Center is an educational and cultural resource for all ages making active, innovative contributions to preserving the Oregon "Tidewater Community" experience. Interactive exhibits and programs illustrate how land, water and people have shaped each other over time.
