Although we’re retired, we still love this beautiful building and believe in preserving its history. This inspired us to serve on the Oregon State Capitol Foundation board.

To provide long-term support for Capitol Foundation, we have both chosen to make legacy contributions. You can join us in preserving this unique landmark and the dreams of those who shaped our state.

You made history here. Now you can preserve it.
