Eugene, OR – According to the state officials, the Kam Wah Chung building and museum is a National Historic Landmark that preserves the home and businesses of two Chinese immigrants, Ing “Doc” Hay and Lung On.

The Museum and Interpretive Center will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday through May and possibly into June due to staffing.

Staff added a tour from noon to 1 p.m. this year to provide additional viewing opportunities.
Space is limited to 8 people per tour.
