In 2009, the state of Oregon is celebrating its 150th Birthday.

In 2009, during the month of September, Benton County, Oregon becomes Quilt County, presenting simultaneous quilt exhibitions in venues throughout Corvallis and Philomath.

The Benton County Historical Museum is celebrating Quilt County and Oregon's 150th Birthday with a juried quilt exhibition in Moreland Auditorium Gallery.

The theme of the exhibition is "Celebrating Oregon's Heritage".

We invite quilters to explore the theme in quilts and wall-hangings, emphasizing any of the following:

  • A classic 1850s quilt pattern
  • A modern interpretation of an 1850s quilt pattern
  • A quilt honoring your family's Oregon heritage
  • A quilt celebrating Oregon's heritage
