The theme of 2022's Historic Preservation Month in Benton County is "More Than Ever, This Place Matters."
Historic Downtown Corvallis Walking Tour - The tour will begin in the education room with a 20 minute quick history of Corvallis prior to the walk. Once a shipping point, warehouse district, and industrial area, today's Riverfront Park honors downtown Corvallis' early past. Appreciate the sites that built the early local economy. Linger where historic rehabilitation projects fostered dynamic retail growth along 2nd Street. Learn how downtown changed, and yet remained the same inviting place to meet friends, dine, shop and conduct business. Guide: Mary Gallagher.
Meet: Corvallis Museum.
