LAKE OSWEGO PRESERVATION SOCIETY

Description

A message from our founder, Marylou Colver: "My vision was to create an organization to advocate for the triple bottom line benefits-social, economic, and environmental-of preserving our unique built heritage as well as having a strong, researched-based focus on education. In the relatively brief time since founding the non-profit Lake Oswego Preservation Society in 2011, hard work, meticulous research, creative thinking, vision, and land use advocacy along with dedicated volunteers, generous members, granting organizations, and other supporters and friends have contributed to realizing this goal. May our current community, and future Lake Oswego citizens, enjoy the fruits of all of our labors on behalf of the place that we love."


The Society has received recognition, both locally and statewide, for our historic preservation advocacy on behalf of Lake Oswego landmarks. In word, and deed, we honor our motto: "Advocate. Educate. Celebrate!"
