    The exhibit runs through Saturday, March 16, at the Willamette Heritage Center at The Mill in Salem
     
    What do you know about the lives of children who lived in the Willamette Valley in the past? What kinds of games did they play or chores did they do? How did their lives and pastimes compare to yours? What did it even mean to be a "child"? The Forest History Center, part of the Oregon Department of Forestry, is proud to be one of the participants in the heritage center's When We Were Young: Childhood Around the Valley, an exhibition that explores a range of ideas about "childhood" in a by-gone era.
