The museum is owned by the Coquille Valley Historical Society, established in May of 2005. Thanks to the interest and generosity of Bob Taylor, former owner of Taylor's Sport Shop, the museum is located in his old store. The museum's collection includes the Lee Peterson tool collection; the Wilkins Photography Studio photographs; Leland Simpson's antiques; a number of items on loan from the Coquille Sentinel newspaper including a turn-of-the-century printing press and type; a blacksmith forge and tools; a selection of books from the old Riverton schoolhouse; old photographs; a large collection of glass insulators and a variety of other displays.
