Dine Out! to support our local arts and culture institutions. Join us on Wednesday, January 28th, at either Block 15 location for a delicious way to give back—a portion of the day’s food sales will be donated to the Benton County Historical Society, which curates and operates the Philomath and Corvallis Museums! They’re celebrating their 75th anniversary this year, no small milestone.

What will our donation go toward?

Our donation will go directly toward fundraising for the Horner 100 Campaign, which celebrates the collective memory of Benton County. For many Corvallis residents, the Horner Museum was their first museum experience. Opened in 1925 and closed in the late 1990’s, all the artifacts have been saved and are managed by the Benton County Historical Society. They’re celebrating 100 years of preserving our local history and the stories that make up our community. They are celebrating the legacy the Horner Museum built and the progress the Benton County Historical Society has made, especially as they introduce exciting new exhibits at the Corvallis Museum and revitalize the richness of our historic Philomath Museum.

In addition to the Horner 100 campaign, funds go toward: Collections, Research, Exhibits, Education, Cultural Programming, Events, Building Maintenance, and more!
