landscapes and the curated grounds surrounding a structure are equally as significant and contribute to the integrity of the site. Join Joy Sears, Oregon State Historic Preservation Office's Restoration Specialist to explore maintaining these landscape features,
hardscaping, and grounds that support and contribute to historical context. <br>
