Yes for Oregon History: Yes on Measure 26-261 This May, Multnomah County will be asked to renew the Oregon Historical Society levy, continuing educational and cultural preservation programs.

The Oregon Historical Society has the most comprehensive resources available to learn about our state’s unique history. This May, Multnomah County voters will have an opportunity to renew the Oregon Historical Society levy, providing funding for important educational and cultural preservation programs, without raising taxes. Renewing the levy enables the Society’s museum and library to continue offering free admission to Multnomah County residents and school groups, and continues support for four East Multnomah County historical societies: Fairview-Rockwood-Wilkes Historical Society, Gresham Historical Society, Troutdale Historical Society, and Crown Point Country Historical Society. The Oregon Historical Society has served as the safeguard of our state’s rich history for over a century, helping to preserve what makes our home unique. This May, vote YES for Oregon History.
