7. Step Back in Time at the Coos History Museum & Maritime Collection
Established in 1891, the Coos County Historical Society is the second oldest historical society in Oregon. In 2015, the organization opened the two-story Coos History Museum & Maritime Collection on the waterfront. Today, the museum houses a collection of more than 50,000 objects and a quarter-million images. This impressive assemblage paints the picture of Coos County’s history and the development of the southern coast.
8. Meander along the Coos Bay Boardwalk
If you’re ever in the rare moment of feeling bored in Coos Bay, head to the downtown Coos Bay Boardwalk at the end of Anderson Avenue. Here, alongside great views of the bay, this half-mile boardwalk features fun learning opportunities and a fish market.
