Welcome to the Historic Cemeteries Program
Past workshop in Merrill Give your opinion on solutions for Oregon's Heritage!
You are invited to give your views on potential solutions to the challenges faced by organizations, businesses and individuals in the Oregon heritage community.

The online survey about the solutions is the next-to-last stage of an Oregon Heritage Vitality Assessment by the Oregon Heritage Commission. The final stage will be adoption of the assessment and recommended solutions by the Heritage Commission later this fall.

Last fall, the Heritage Commission initiated an assessment of the challenges being faced by heritage in Oregon. The assessment included an initial survey, individual interviews, forums and data gathering.

The new survey asks individuals for their views about eight issues and solutions for each. The survey will take 5-10 minutes to complete.
