This model is used by the communities participating in the three-tier Main Street Track of Oregon Main Street Network.
“In 2021, we saw how our Oregon Main Streets stepped up and helped their communities navigate through the challenges brought on by two years of economic downturn,” said Sheri Stuart, state coordinator, Oregon Main Street. “Through innovative projects, community centric programs, and renovations focused on historic preservation, main streets have improved their communities and enhanced their quality of life
Oregon Main Street strengthens community networks, bolsters local economies, generates tax revenues, and fosters social connections across the state. OMS leads a network of local Main Streets that oversee a wide range of programmatic efforts to build community, support local businesses, and create an attractive and vibrant environment for workers, visitors, and residents. The Oregon Main Street network generates significant value for local communities and for the State of Oregon overall.

Last Chance - 2024-2029 Oregon Preservation Plan Workshops
Our last two 2024-2029 Oregon Historic Preservation Plan online workshops will be held next week, Wednesday, October 12th and Thursday, October 13th at 6:30pm by Zoom videoconference. Please help us spread the word if you’ve already attended a meeting, or if you missed us, you can register to attend a meeting up through the time the meeting starts at https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/pages/tools.aspx#2024presplan . Even if you’ve already attended a meeting, we’d welcome you back for another. The Preservation Plan directs state-wide efforts identifying and preserving our state’s historic places, collections, and traditions.
Throughout the summer and early fall the heritage community has shared with us their vision for Oregon’s special cultural resources over 6 online community workshops and special sessions on diversity, equity, inclusion, and access, disaster preparedness, and preservation planning and our online survey. We’ve heard from all of you that it’s important to create programs that recognize and protect the full breadth of the state’s diverse cultural resources and create opportunities for every Oregon to lead and participate in the effort. We’re still looking for recommendations on how best to accomplish this work.
Your input in creating the Oregon Historic Preservation Plan is important. During the 90-minute virtual public participants will identify what issues matter most, how to best preserve the state’s history, and what government agencies, cultural institutions, and each Oregonian can do.
If you can’t attend a meeting, we still want to hear from you. Here are four ways you can participate:
1. All Oregonians are invited to take an online survey. The survey asks about participant’s interests, what issues matter most, and what Oregonian’s can all do to preserve the state’s history. Go to: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2024-2029HistPresPlanSurvey<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.surveymonkey.com%2Fr%2F2024-2029HistPresPlanSurvey&data=05%7C01%7CKatie.HENRY%40oprd.oregon.gov%7Cad261906104640b7d8d908daa7cf4813%7Caa3f6932fa7c47b4a0cea598cad161cf%7C0%7C0%7C638006805951475003%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=P6qHggT2wa00emcZ6xlbPwVuGaZy%2Bd0%2BqpqKYshVmkg%3D&reserved=0>.

OCHC commissioner, Charlotte Lehan, will also offer a tour of historic Pleasant View Cemetery, 14250 SW Westfall Road in Sherwood, on October 21 at 9:30 a.m. The earliest recorded burial is 1856, but burials likely date back into the 1840’s. Residents include several early captains of the steamboats on the Willamette and Columbia. The cemetery is maintained by a non-profit association and has undergone extensive renovation efforts in the last decade. It is an active cemetery with headstones of every vintage. Most are granite and historic marble, plus a rather impressive zinc monument. There are approximately 3,000 burials.
Following the tour, at 10:30 a.m. OCHC commissioner, Shawn Steinmetz, an archaeologist working for Hoyo, a cultural resources advocacy nonprofit organization, will be leading a discussion of general ground penetrating radar (GPR) concepts and its use in historic cemeteries. A demonstration of how GPR projects are laid out and data are collected in a cemetery setting. There will be an opportunity for participants to do GPR data collection during the demonstration. We will discuss outcomes of typical GPR surveys so cemetery managers can better understand if a GPR survey will meet their management goals.
State law established the seven-member Commission <https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Pages/Commissions.aspx#OCHC> to maintain a listing of all historic cemeteries and gravesites in Oregon; promote public education on the significance of historic cemeteries; and help obtain financial and technical assistance for restoring, improving and maintaining their appearances.

Application open for NEH Preservation Assistance Grants
Preservation Assistance Grants help small and mid-sized institutions - such as libraries, museums, historical societies, archival repositories, cultural organizations, town and county records offices, and colleges and universities - improve their ability to preserve and care for their significant humanities collections. These may include special collections of books and journals, archives and manuscripts, prints and photographs, moving images, sound recordings, architectural and cartographic records, decorative and fine art objects, textiles, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, furniture, historical objects, and digital materials.
Applicants must draw on the knowledge of consultants whose preservation skills and experience are related to the types of collections and the nature of the activities on which their projects focus. Within the conservation field, conservators usually specialize in the care of specific types of collections, such as objects, paper, or paintings. Applicants should choose a conservator whose specialty is appropriate for the nature of their collections. Similarly, when assessing the preservation needs of library, museum, or archival holdings, applicants should seek a consultant specifically knowledgeable about the preservation of collections in these types of institutions.
The program encourages applications from small and mid-sized institutions that have never received an NEH grant; community colleges, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and Tribal Colleges and Universities; and Native American tribes and Native Alaskan and Native Hawaiian organizations with significant humanities collections. Furthermore, organizations or collections that represent the contributions of under-represented communities are highly encouraged.
There will be an instructional webinar and Q&A on October 28, 2022 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Register<https://teams.microsoft.com/registration/WWSwk33HtkSvf-gTzdzcww,IL6Gb3-33kuh57okgtyEEQ,3e3KqTqiL0C-G2cqb9TlJg,jYbNkVbzck24UZSp62Mv2Q,ZwPCJhwqPUiMzbqNi4N1Tw,sEfwoPQbrUqh_c_mYnfbaA?mode=read&tenantId=93b06459-c77d-44b6-af7f-e813cddcdcc3&webinarRing=gcc> for the webinar.

Oregon State Parks ends 2022 with the Centennial Creative Challenge
The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) offers one more way to celebrate 100 years of state parks. Share your love for the state’s special places and your artistic style via the Centennial Creative Challenge. The challenge is open now and ends Dec. 31, 2022.
“Oregon’s current Poet Laureate Anis Mojgani visited several state parks and penned a poem, ‘The branch is both branch & tree’, that reflects his personal experiences,” said OPRD Director Lisa Sumption. “Now you can create and share your artistic vision of the poem or your passion for the outdoors via your own unique talent.”
OPRD invites everyone to draw, paint, write, sing, narrate-pretty much any creative expression-their state park feelings or experiences. The Centennial Creative Challenge<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstateparks.oregon.gov%2Findex.cfm%3Fdo%3Dv.page%26id%3D116&data=05%7C01%7CKatie.HENRY%40oprd.oregon.gov%7Cdc5e544cd21a44fd262b08daa7afd4cd%7Caa3f6932fa7c47b4a0cea598cad161cf%7C0%7C0%7C638006670885762500%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=XLCsYAYCd9pjKkjapK5lYCTR8XiowBiN%2BSKJ5Eo3TD0%3D&reserved=0> web page includes more information, a list of accepted file formats, and a link to the online submission form.
