Greater Redmond Historical Society

Dedicated to the discovery, preservation, and curation of the history of Redmond, Oregon.

About Us

The Greater Redmond Historical Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to  providing, preserving and discovering historical information of Redmond, Oregon. The Historical Society was founded in 2011. A small group of citizens – seeing a tremendous growth in Redmond – realized no one was documenting and preserving the history and  heritage of Redmond. The historical society was created to collect, maintain, and safeguard articles and records of historical information in the greater Redmond area. Through staff, volunteers, and programs, the Society serves the community by providing primary sources such as historical documents, pictures, artifacts, and oral histories that all show the development, growth, and narrative about the Redmond we know today. With over 30,000 records of photographs and scanned data, the Greater Redmond Historical Society has become one of the fastest-growing civic organizations in the city.
