The Oregon Heritage Conferences inform and inspire Oregonians involved in the state’s cultural heritage efforts. Attendees 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 2011 Oregon Heritage Conference has been preliminarily scheduled for April 7-9 in Astoria, a community marking its 200th year.
The 2010 conference took the form of one-day roundups in Jacksonville, La Grande and Oregon City. Each included a presentation of the preliminary results of the Oregon Heritage Vitality Report.
Following each presentation, participants engaged in a variety of discussions. Here are the notes from those roundup discussions:
