Rising up from the sea with moss-draped forests growing right to the water's edge, the Olympic Mountains are crowned with glaciers while alpine meadows and lush valleys teem with elk, deer, cougars, bears, and species known nowhere else on earth.

For more than 100 years, the Pacific Northwest has been making music history, as captured in this new retrospective that evokes the musical memories of days gone by through rare photographs.

Towering over southern Oregon for more than half a million years, the volcano Mount Mazama would erupt from time to time, spreading pumice, ash, and cinders for miles around. As the only maximum-security prison in the state, the Oregon State Penitentiary (OSP) has housed some of the most violent criminals on the West Coast, including brutal serial killers Charley Panzram in 1915 and Jerry Brudos in 1969.

Not only is Portland the site of numerous marine terminals along the Willamette and Columbia Rivers, but it is also home to much of our American maritime history.
