History Preserved Project (HPP)
Unveils Its Mission to Celebrate Pendleton's Rich Heritage and Architectural
Treasures

[Pendleton,
Augus 2023] – History Preserved Project (HPP), in partnership with Pendleton Urban Renewal, is proud to announce its mission of fostering greater appreciation for the city's historical artifacts, with a special focus on Pendleton’s downtown buildings.

Preserving the Past, Embracing the Future:

HPP's mission is to significantly increase appreciation for the history of Pendleton and its invaluable historic artifacts, particularly its downtown buildings. These structures stand as enduring testaments to the city's past and can enhance the future of Pendleton’s downtown area.

 Informative Workshops:

In the coming year, HPP will host a series of workshops. These informative sessions will delve into the past, present, and potential futures of the historic buildings that grace Pendleton's downtown area. Participants will gain unique insights into the architectural details that have shaped these structures over time. 

GuidedTours:

HPP's guided tours, scheduled for September, March, and June, September 29th and 30th, 2023, March 1st and 2nd, 2024 and May 10th and 11th, 2024, will take participants through the upper stories of several historic buildings. These exclusive tours will unveil the diverse conditions of these upper levels, illustrating the myriad of possibilities and potential these buildings hold for the future.

Call for Volunteers:

As HPP strives to increase appreciation of Pendleton’s downtown, the organizers are seeking volunteers to assist the project. Whether you are interested in local history, architecture or leading tours, HPP welcomes individuals who share the vision of preserving Pendleton's heritage.

This episode contains some strong language.

Heather dropped in on the Pendleton Boxing gym next door and talked to Coach Rob Brooks, and his boxers Trayton, Joshua, Ian, Madisynne, Madeline, Rylan, and Marcus about what boxing has done for them to improve their lives. Bunch of nice people is what those boxers were.

This summer, August 26-27, they are hosting the Northwest Nationals Boxing Tournament. It's a nationally ranked tournament open to novice boxers. Turn out and support them! Click here for details.
