At our monthly meetings we discuss historical topics, share our research and resources, work on the building inventory and plan for future tours and events. We meet in the Hainley Room located in the lower level of the SMILE Station (SE 13th/Tenino).  Everyone is invited to join us.

Here's a new event sponsored by Sellwood Senior Living.
