Jay Rosen, a historic preservationist with decades of experience, will share his insights into the restoration and preservation of family heirlooms.

His lecture promises to explore the techniques and importance of preserving treasured heirlooms, complemented by a PowerPoint presentation of project photos and entertaining stories.

The chairs from the historic Warren Hotel, now on display at the Museum, will be a point of interest during the discussion, offering a connection to Cannon Beach’s local history.
