"Preservation Pub: Oregon's Oldest Buildings"
Now down to just five percent of the buildings that stood in 1865, the Willamette Valley's Settlement-era structures are rapidly disappearing. Efforts are needed now if these buildings are to be saved for future generations. Join Restore Oregon for this after-hours conversation at the Deluxe Brewery about why these houses and barns matter and what can be done to preserve them.

Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards
Be awed and inspired when you hear the stories of eight individuals, organizations and projects that have made outstanding contributions to preserving Oregon heritage. State Historic Preservation Officer Lisa Van Laanen and Heritage Commission chair David Lewis will make the presentations.
