Join the Oregon Heritage Vitality Study Workshops: Coos Bay on April & Medford on April 9
Join us to shape the future of Oregon's heritage sector! This year, the Oregon Heritage Commission is supporting an important update to a decade-old Oregon Heritage Vitality Study. This study will help us understand the current state of the heritage sector in Oregon, highlighting key issues that impact the sector, and provide recommendations at the local and state level to address collective needs and challenges. Right now, we need your help to guide the recommendations that will be included in the Study. During this interactive workshop, we'll share an overview of the key issues you helped us identify through the Vitality Study Survey earlier this year and then brainstorm changes and resources that would better support your work. This is your chance to influence the tools and policies that will shape the heritage sector in Oregon over the coming years.
There will be 5 workshop options around the state of Oregon based on your location for you to choose to attend. All workshops will include the same content and agenda, just in different locations to ensure regional inclusion. If none of these work for you, we will also hold a virtual workshop option as well, however we would appreciate as many attendants during our in-person participation if possible! Light refreshments or a light lunch will be provided. Here are the workshop options:

  1.  Coos Bay Workshop on Monday, April 8th at 3pm at the Coos History Museum
  2.  Medford Workshop on Tuesday, April 9th at 10am (virtual option available) at the Rogue Valley Geneological Society
  3.  Virtual Online Workshop on Tuesday, April 16th at 12pm
  4.  Forest Grove Workshop at the Oregon Heritage Conference on Friday, April 19th at 10:30am (Note: you do not need to register for the conference to attend the workshop)
  5.  Cascade Locks Workshop on Thursday, April 25th at 3pm*
  6.  La Grande Workshop on Friday, April 26th at 12pm*

National Park Service Lists Camp Namanu in Clackamas County in the National Register of Historic Places
Camp Namanu is among Oregon's latest entries in the National Register of Historic Places. Oregon's State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation (SACHP) recommended the nomination at their October 2023 meeting for its important social and architectural history. The National Park Service - which maintains the National Register of Historic Places - accepted this nomination in March 2024.
Camp Namanu, Oregon's first girls' camp founded in 1924 by Camp Fire Girls, spans 552-acres along the Sandy River. It features rustic wooden buildings blending seamlessly with the surrounding meadows, forests, and river. Reflective of Progressive Era summer camps, Camp Namanu was established to provide the types of leadership and outdoor development opportunities to young women that already existed for boys.
The camp's structures are influenced by the back-to-nature movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries that romanticized the American landscape. Notably, Camp Namanu features works by Pietro Belluschi, an Italian American architect renowned for his Pacific Northwest-inspired designs. Belluschi is credited with the design of several existing lodges at Camp Namanu and those buildings illustrate the early development of his style.
For more information on how Camp Namanu is celebrating its 100-year anniversary, visit www.campfirecolumbia.org<http://www.campfirecolumbia.org/> or contact Josh Todd, President & CEO of Camp Fire Columbia at jtodd at campfirecolumbia.org<mailto:jtodd at campfirecolumbia.org> or (971) 347-6250.
The National Register is maintained by the National Park Service under the authority of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.
This effort is in line with Oregon's Statewide Preservation Plan that seeks to increase the number of listings in the National Register and addresses the goal to increase the populations underrepresented in Oregon's National Register listings. It also supports the goals to increase access to and include more voices in Oregon heritage that are part of the Oregon Heritage Plan.
Properties listed in the National Register are:

  *   Recognized as significant to the nation, state, or community;
  *   Considered in the planning of federal or federally-assisted projects;
  *   Eligible for federal and state tax benefits;
  *   Qualify for historic preservation grants when funds are available;
  *   Eligible for leniency in meeting certain building code requirements;
  *   Subject to local laws pertaining to the conservation and protection of historic resources.
State law in Oregon requires local governments to offer a minimal level of protection for properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places; the decisions about how to accomplish that goal reside with local governments, which also have the authority to create and regulate local historic districts and landmarks.
More information about the National Register and recent Oregon listings are online at oregonheritage.org<http://www.oregonheritage.org/> (listed under "Designate").
As Camp Namanu celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, OHS is hosting Camp Namanu, A 100 Year Journey Toward Inclusion<https://t.e2ma.net/click/r3ic8l/jtxycc/n8zhymc>, on view through June 9.
