SCHS Searches for New Curator

The search is on for a replacement for our hardworking Curator, Carolyn Hutton, who has decided to step down after 10 years.  Please consider taking on this exiting role in preserving Silverton’s past.  You would be working with an established group of very capable volunteers who are willing to help in any way.  And if you step up early, you would have the benefit of Carolyn’s vast experience as you are trained in the position.

Please call us at 503-873-7070  or leave us a note on this page and we will contact you.
