Gresham Historical Society — Attraction in Gresham

After watching one of your employees harass a handicapped person parked in the handicapped parking spot with the placard correctly displayed on the rear view mirror I'm no longer entrusted in call and considering this location to rent for an event. Your employee, was parked partially blocking The handicap spot. The employee then rudely demanded that the handicapped person move their car so that she could get into hers. The handicapped person responded that had she parked her car properly not on the blue line, she would have been able to get into her car. The employee got even ruder. The handicapped person moved her car over so the entitled employee who thinks she's a VIP could get into her car. Instead of thanking the handicapped person for being inconvenienced and having to move their car so she could get into her poorly parked vehicle, she then began to scream at the disabled person that they weren't allowed to park in the handicapped parking. The handicapped person had the placard properly displayed and is legally allowed to park in the handicapped parking spot. The only person who's not allowed to park in the handicap spot or block the handicap spot was your employee. Based on this display of entitlement by your employee I will not be considering this location or any location that is controlled by the Gresham historical society for a venue I was looking for for an event.

The people there were very friendly. They told us that they change the exhibits so we should come back. I liked how they had a variety of information from the railroad stations to the high school to the immigrants to little local gems of information. The place is very clean and so was the bathroom which was filled with pictures which were very informative as to how Gresham was like back in the day. It was free to go in and we left a little donation on our way out. Our Hearing Service Dog Mocha was welcomed with open arms. The museum was well put together with tibits of information and we also completed all three of their Scavenger Hunt sheets. They had three different levels, one with pictures on it, one that was a little bit harder, and one that was challenging. It was a lot of fun reading and learning all about Gresham's history. I would highly recommend this place and will probably come back to this wonderful place. Such wonderful and kind people working there. So very welcoming and so warm. Thank you so much for your wonderful...

This is the crown jewel of Main Street, if not Downtown Gresham. The building alone, The Gresham Carnegie Library, is now on the National Register of Historic Places and will be protected for generations to come. A great place to visit snapshots Gresham's History, but also American pioneer history. It is the closest thing we have to...
