Oregon Historical Museum

I maybe should have put off my visit, as the third floor exhibit was still closed.  (With a grand reopening this Thursday)  I wandered through the bits that were open and made a couple of sketches.  One was of a small statue of Tom McCall.



 And the other was of this historical artifact.  Which was absolutely fascinating to the visitors.  No one could resist fiddling with it, and discovering the reason that we say we 'dial' a phone.  And this is what phones were, for all of my childhood and some years beyond.  Heck, we were pleased as all get-out when our town finally got enough lines that we were no longer on a party-line with a family up the street.
