Please join us in honoring our 2025 History Makers on Sunday, October 5, 2025, at 5pm in the Mark Building of the Portland Art Museum.
Funds raised through tickets, sponsorships, and donations at the event provide vital support for the Oregon Historical Society's mission to preserve our state's history and make it accessible to everyone in ways that advance knowledge and inspire curiosity about all the people, place, and events that have shaped Oregon.
