Activities

Free admittance to the Historical Museum at St. Gertrude!

Living history characters will be stationed within the museum and on the grounds, such as:

• Sr. Radegunda Bischofberger, our last Swiss Sister
• Mother Eugenia Schallberger, who built the annex
• Mother Regina O’Connell, prioress during Vatican II and administrator while building St. Mary’s Hospital
• Sr. Magdelan Suter, one of the three founding Sisters
• Abbot Fortunat Marchand, who built the grotto

Come view the Historical Museum’s seven state-of-the-art galleries and be immersed in meaningful and relevant stories of the Camas Prairie and the people who have lived here.

Carla Wilkins, curator of the Historical Museum, extends a heartfelt invitation:

“Come join us on the front lawn of the Monastery!
We can’t wait to see you all this summer.”
