Oregon 150 Information

On March 13, 2007, Gov. Ted Kulongoski launched preparations for the 150th anniversary of Oregon’s admittance into the Union. The celebration began Feb. 14, 2009, and will last through the fall of 2009. To prepare for Oregon’s 150th birthday, the governor created Oregon 150, a nonprofit organization led by motivated citizen volunteers from across the state who serve as its Board of Directors. The mission of Oregon 150 is to inspire people across the state to remember, experience and celebrate Oregon and, together, create a robust and sustainable future.
