The Nehalem Valley Historical Society is offering its “History of the Nehalem Bay Area” series led by Mark Beach at Pine Grove Community House in downtown Manzanita. All presentations involve extensive use of historical photos and include time for questions and discussion. Two classes remain in the series, on Oct. 30 and Nov. 2.

The series, which began Oct. 16, has been meeting every Monday and Thursday until November 2 from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. Cost for those dropping in to each of the remaining sessions is $10.  The Pine Grove Community Center is at 225 Laneda Street, Manzanita.

Mark Beach has a Ph.D. in history, taught at Cornell University and worked at the Smithsonian Institution before moving to Oregon in 1992. This history course will draw from Mark’s research into north Tillamook County and will feature his extensive collection of historical photos.
