The Deschutes Historical Museum will open an exhibit on the town of Maxville, Oregon and its timber history on April 28. The exhibit coincides with the production of "From Maxville to Vanport" at The Tower Theatre on April 27, and is a rescheduled project from 2020. Timber Culture is a traveling exhibit from the Maxville Heritage Interpretive Center that explores the lives of loggers and their families drawn together from different cultures during the great migration of African Americans from the South, and presents an inclusive look at Oregon's multicultural logging communities. In sharing and discussing the history of the segregated logging community of Maxville, Oregon, the exhibit examines issues of race and social justice through the lens of Oregon's history. From Maxville to Vanport is a multimedia concert featuring vocalist Marilyn Keller with the Portland Jazz Composers Ensemble that highlights the stories of African Americans in two unique Oregon towns.
