The Seaside Museum is proud to present History and Hops: Surf Pines History presented by Tom Smith at Seaside Brewing Company on Thursday, October 26th at 6:00pm.

In 2019, the Surf Pines Homeowners Association marked its 50th anniversary. Recognizing this milestone, amateur historian Tom Smith delved into the under-explored history of the Clatsop Plains. Smith began by interviewing long-standing community members such as Richie Schroeder and Carol Seppa. His efforts led to a collaboration with Susan Swanby, a historian and writer. Together, they unveiled “The Early Days of Surf Pines,” portraying the era when Barney Lucas first envisioned Surf Pines in the late 1940s, drawing parallels with the wild west and its profound influence on the community’s evolution.

This event is open to the public and free to attend.

Preserving Seaside’s History since 1974, the Seaside Museum and Historical Society is a non-profit educational institution with the mission to collect, preserve and interpret materials illustrative of the history of Seaside and the surrounding area.
The museum is located at 570 Necanicum Drive, Seaside and is open Wednesday – Saturday, 11AM – 4PM.
