For decades, Fireman's Fund and National Trust Insurance Services, as part of the National Trust, have insured historic properties from the Newport Mansions to the restored Victorian in your town. Together, along with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, they are sponsoring the This Place Matters Community Challenge to highlight the important role that historic buildings and properties play in preserving our national heritage as well as in preserving our environment.  Prize monies of $25,000, $10,000 and $5,000 will go to the top three vote getters.  Let’s let the nation know that Oregon Places Matter!
