2021 Oregon Heritage Excellence Awards

Congratulations to all of the teams behind the restoration of the beautiful Caples House Museum and your 2021 Oregon Heritage Excellence Award. Awarded by the Oregon Heritage Department, seven awards were given to individuals, organizations, and projects that have made outstanding contributions to preserving Oregon heritage over and above the call of duty. Caples House was the only museum. This award was given to honor the extraordinary fundraising efforts which resulted in the restoration of the National Register listed Caples House Museum – preserving not only the structure itself, but also the museum collection inside it.
