Oregon Electric Railway Museum (OERHS)
This group was incorporated in Oregon in 1957 with a mission to preserve the regional heritage of electric railway transportation as a living resource for the benefit of this and future generations. The organization initiated a move to Powerland in 1996 to establish the Oregon Electric Railway Museum. They have constructed a car barn, an operating streetcar museum, machine shop, powerhouse and interpretive center. Collections include most everything related to electric streetcars and electric buses and their maintenance.
