Library Tours

Bring your group to the GFO and get a free tour, four hours of research time, and a special deal on GFO membership (if you’d like to join).  Past tours have included the Clark County Genealogical Society, Happy Valley Genealogy Club, several retirement facilities, a home school class, and the Rose City Model A Club.  We hope to welcome your group too!

Enhance your tour by arranging for a GFO speaker for your group prior to your visit.  "Introduction to Genealogy" or "Introduction to GFO Resources" presentations are available on Zoom. To schedule a pre-tour presentation or to arrange a tour, email the library.

Not in a group?  Don’t worry—every visitor to the library is welcome to a free tour.  Just ask the receptionist.

Need more info about presentations? Send an email to our education department.

    I am so enjoying all the eBooks I am seeing... I was NOT expecting these great resources. I have about 8 I'm looking forward to reading.

    I joined because Ralph Thonstad [facilitator of the GFO's AI in Genealogy Special Interest Group] does such a good job of keeping me up to date on AI and Genealogy.
