Three regional Oregon heritage round-ups will take place during April and emphasize heritage organizations and strengthening their community relationships. The roundups will replace the Oregon Heritage Conference for 2010.
The roundups will inform and inspire Oregonians involved in the state’s cultural heritage efforts. Attendees will include community leaders, staff and volunteers from historical societies, museums, historic cemeteries, ethnic organizations, schools, historic preservation commissions, humanities groups, the tourism industry, economic development, history buffs and professional historians, youth, and local, tribal, state and federal governments.
The roundups are scheduled April 9 in Oregon City, April 22 in Jacksonville and April 29 in La Grande. The Oregon City round-up will also include the Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards and Oregon Heritage Fellows presentations.
The roundups will also review the results of the 2010 Oregon Heritage Assessment that has been launched by the Heritage Commission.
For more information about the round-ups, contact Kyle Jansson at 503-986-0673 or heritage.info@state.or.us.
