Digital Exhibit: A Willamette Farmer’s Legacy– Thomas Dove Keizur

The Keizer Heritage Museum presents “A Willamette Farmer’s Legacy– Thomas Dove Keizur” August 6 through September 28 – a virtual exhibit you can explore as part of the Capitol History Gateway program. This digital presentation was funded by the Oregon State Capitol Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c) 3.

Thomas Dove (T.D.) Keizur was an involved resident in the Oregon Territory. Participating in the first Oregon election 180 years ago, serving as a pre-provisional legislator in 1844 and serving as the founding Captain of the Oregon Rangers, Keizur embodied “a person that got involved” in Oregon’s democratic process, which is one of the core narrative goals of the Capitol History Gateway exhibit program.

Since the historic portion of the Capitol is not accessible due to construction until 2025, the physical exhibit will not be scheduled in the Capitol Galleria until then.
