The Canby Depot Museum is housed in Oregon's oldest railroad station. The original Articles
of Incorporation of the Canby Historical Society refer to the wish for a museum. In the early
1980's the existing Canby Depot facility became available to the society. The Canby Depot had
been an active train station at the intersection of North First and Grant Streets throughout
almost the entire history of the city, but the railroad was going to dismantle the depot unless
the facility could be moved. Canby Historical Society was able to raise funds for the move of the
depot to it's present location near N.E. 4th and Pine Streets adjacent to the Clackamas County
Fairgrounds. Canby Historical Society has now had a museum for over 20 years and our members continue
the work of organizing and displaying photos, artifacts and exhibits of historic significance, which
afford a glimpse of 19th century life in this community.
