Tour, Talk and Eat Cake in Support of Preservation!
April 28, 2012 |
Join long-time supporters and freshly minted students of historic preservation in a celebration to kick off the 35th anniversary of the Historic Preservation League of Oregon at Salem’s Willamette Heritage Center immediately following the conclusion of the 2012 Oregon Heritage Conference on Saturday April 28 from 1:30-3:00PM.
All friends of preservation are invited to indulge in birthday cake and beverages, enjoy a guided tour of the historic Mission and Mill complex, and share their ideas in a town hall conversation about where we’ve gone and where we’re going as a statewide preservation movement. Now known as the Willamette Heritage Center, the Mission and Mill complex features a collection of Oregon’s oldest buildings as well as embodies some of Oregon’s earliest preservation successes from the 1960s and ‘70s. There’s no better place to celebrate the history of HPLO and the preservation story in Oregon than at this Salem treasure. Whether you’re a former landmarks commissioner or a recent neighborhood preservationist, this will be a fun chance to catch up with old colleagues and meet new friends under one roof.
As a special treat, attendees will each receive a complimentary copy of A Past for Our Future, a limited print booklet authored by former Oregon National Register coordinator Elisabeth Walton Potter. Originally delivered as an HPLO lecture, A Past for Our Future provides the most comprehensive overview of the historic preservation movement in Oregon published to-date. Elisabeth will be on hand to discuss the booklet and HPLO staff will be ready to gather input on the current preservation issues in your community, be it Salem, Seaside, or Seneca.
