A vast collection of handmade chess sets are part of the permanent collection at Maryhill Museum of Art, located near Goldendale, Washington. The Libraries of Eastern Oregon announced June 15, 2024, that patrons of 16 public libraries across Eastern Oregon can reserve free passes through its “Discover and Go” to Maryhill and other partnering organizations across the state.

EASTERN OREGON — The Libraries of Eastern Oregon is opening the door to area residents to “Discover and Go.”

Patrons from 16 libraries across the region can reserve a pass for entry into participating museums, or local arts, culture, history and recreation organizations. Up to four passes can be reserved during the calendar year.

The program currently includes access to such places as Maryhill Museum of Art, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center and parking permits for Oregon State Parks day use areas — the full list is available on the LEO website at www.librariesofeasternoregon.org. Each partner organization determines how many people can enter with a pass.

To obtain a pass, select your library and log in to browse the available options by date or venue. You can view available passes for the upcoming three months.
