About this event

1 hour

Corvallis Placekeeping: Walking Seminar

Placekeeping has been described as the active care and maintenance of a place and its social fabric by the people who live and work there.

Become a local storykeeper: walk away from our hour together able to explain:

how the Willamette Valley became a regional breadbasket
what medieval forests in Europe have to do with the Pacific Northwest
how the Oregon Trail became a household name
timelines of the native Kalapuya
the source of three downtown building booms
the impact of WWII on Corvallis
how Corvallis is connected to the Panama canal
the most destructive decade of the 1900s
the most innovative decade of the last 50 years

Welcome, eager community stewards, to the outdoor classroom! We'll launch from the lobby of the Courtyard Marriott - 1st & Adams.

Visitors to Corvallis are also welcome to come learn the stories of Corvallis.
