Hello everyone, I have updated this article as follows to match current information made publicly available. - Corrected date the Lane County Clerk's Building was moved to its current site. - Corrected date for LCHM prairie schooner. - Clarified that LCHM archives are closed stacks. - Removed references to permanent exhibits that have been changed. The previous version referred to an 1920s-1930s exhibit that was removed from view in 2007. - Removed references to artifacts that have been removed from view. - Updated exhibit information post-2015. References provided. - Corrected Bob Hart's Condon and Meeks program verbage to reflect that this program has ended. - Added final sentence to clarify that the museum is staying in its current location.

@Fkreskey: I've reviewed the edits you contributed to the article, and corrected only some mis-information on the relationship of the museum to the Lane County Historical Society (which according to sources holds the contract with the county) and the Friends of the Lane County Historical Museum (which merged with the LCHS in 2006). You may have been unaware of Wikipedia's policy on conflict of interest when you edited the article, and I assume you made the edits in good faith. Please do not edit the article directly; instead request any further edits here on this talk page in compliance with the COI policy. I have the article on my watchlist and will respond within a day or so. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 08:49, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
