History and Hops Goes to Hollywood when Mac Burns, executive director of the Clatsop County Historical Society discuss the county’s role in motion pictures. Mac was instrumental in creating the Oregon Film Museum highlighting and celebrating movies that were made in Oregon. “Before there was Hollywood there was Astoria,” says Burns who will explore the origins and history of movie making in Astoria and the State of Oregon dating back to 1909 – before there was a “Hollywood” and long before The Goonies. Come and share some of your own stories of when the movies came to town.

History & Hops is a series of local history discussions hosted by the Seaside Museum on the last Thursday of each month, September through May, at Seaside Brewing Co.
