Osher Maps

The Osher Inn’s light-filled lobby and interior walk-ways are filled with historic maps, a special gift from the Osher Library Antique Map Collection. Visitors and residents enjoy the stories these maps offer about the history of the world and times of our ancestors including world maps from great cartographers, lore of ancient Jerusalem, and maps and lithographs of Portland with interesting vignettes of the time.
