I have loved Cranberry Sweets since I was a little kid. Day trips to Bandon were never complete without a trip to this fabulous candy store. ..And then they put a store in Coos Bay (oops I dated myself). This is truly one of my favorite places to take visitors, people who are new to the area and of course find gifts for every occasion. They always have a fun variety of gifts, candy and keepsakes for every season. I have even made a tradition of getting my nieces and nephews a Christmas ornament here each year.

April and Robert run a very extensive and welcome business, a cross between a giant swap meet, open store mall and anything goes all purpose flea market. Lots to see and choose from, and many hidden treasures to discover. Good prices, and friendly haggling at the cash register.

On our way out of Coos Bay after a short stay, we dropped into see the history museum and thought that it was well-worth the hour-plus we spent browsing the exhibits. The museum does a good job of providing digestible nuggets of information about the subject matter being discussed, highlighting the facts, and clearly labeling quotes and their source. The first floor is where most of the local history is displayed, from the first exploration of the area by white men to current history. Displays touched on the importance of Native Americans to the area, various industries (logging, fishing, manufacturing, etc.), each providing some key artifacts or bits of relevant history. There are some hands-on areas to keep kids engaged, and some large pieces, such as the rowboats and canoe, that are very nice. Upstairs, there is an excellent series of paintings and displays on the area's Coast Guard stations and their role in their defense of our country. In a small side room, there are some displays about recreational activities enjoyed throughout the area. The gift store at the front is well-stocked with a variety of nice products, and there is a good-sized meeting space that I'm sure is used by the local community. All in all, Coos History Museum is a nice addition to the town and a great place to learn about the area.
