Making and Mending is a celebration of the once-great art of textileworking. Encompassing a variety of hand-sewing techniques, this exhibit explores the meaning that sewing once held by featuring garments in GHS’s collection of historic textiles. Thanks to the efforts of volunteer curator Rose Caughie, we are coming into a greater understanding of the stories and knowledge contained within this remarkable collection.
This exhibit changes annually to feature new donations.
Explore the many communities that make up modern Gresham in this interactive exhibit. See each community's historic boundaries and significant locations mapped over modern features, with accompanying text and photos.
A Photographic Journey Through the Gresham Outlook at the End of the 20th Century
What is Gresham to you? Thanks to the historic archives of editions of the Outlook and a generous donation of photographic negatives from Outlook staff, we explore Gresham's changing identity in the era of the new millennium.
Consisting of 14 interpretive panels with text and historic photos, this exhibit explores the history of the Rockwood community from time immemorial through the present day.
