Clackamas County Historical Society welcomes new Executive Director Stephen Greenwood

It is with great excitement that the Clackamas County Historical Society officially welcomes new Executive Director Stephen Greenwood to our community!

Greenwood previously managed the Wells Fargo Museum in Portland where he created education programs, installed exhibits, and collaborated with company employees, customers, and non-profits, including the Oregon History Museum.

The CCHS Hiring Committee was particularly impressed by Greenwood’s programming experience, which included coordinating 25 events for the Wells Fargo Museum celebrating Oregon’s diverse history and highlighting stories from the African American, Asian American, Latino, and LGBTQ+ communities, along with stories of veterans and women. His work with other heritage institutions includes Colonial Williamsburg, the Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center, Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, and the National Archives.

Crafting educational materials is something Greenwood is exceptionally familiar with, as he holds a teaching certificate from Western Washington University and has previously worked with the Girl Scouts to develop engaging and informative content as part of their patch program. Greenwood’s focus on connecting with audiences led him to create educational outreach programs to reach groups who could not visit the museum, something CCHS is interested in implementing at our own museums. Greenwood joins us with leadership experience managing museums through his expertise developing programs, installing exhibits, and building relationships with community stakeholders.

Greenwood begins his new position on Monday, May 16. You can reach him at director@clackamashistory.org or 503-655-5574.
