About Five Oaks Museum

Five Oaks Museum (previously known as the Washington County Museum) was a history museum in Washington County, Oregon, United States. It was located at the Rock Creek campus of Portland Community College (PCC), north of Beaverton, Oregon. Opened in 1975, the museum was operated by the Washington County Historical Society with a mission of preserving the history of the area. The museum's site at PCC's Rock Creek Campus also included a research library and was home to the original Washington County Jail built in 1853.

From 2012 to 2017, its public exhibit space was located in downtown Hillsboro, Oregon before it was moved back to PCC, its pre-2012 location and where the museum's research facility had already been located. The museum closed in December 2024 due to a lack of funding.
