The SLC’s mission is to provide a unique living laboratory that educates and encourages sustainable practices in daily life, and we believe that understanding the history of this living laboratory is important to achieving our mission.

The second presentation in this series on the history of the Willamette Valley, including Pringle Creek and Chemeketa (now called Salem), is by Cara Kaser, M.A., member of the City of Salem’s Historic Landmarks Commission. Prior to this appointment, Ms. Kaser served as an Architectural Historian with the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office. 

She has worked on various historic preservation projects throughout the west coast, including the Ernest Bloch House (Newport), Joseph Jacobberger Country House (Portland), Weston School (Weston), the Roba Ranch (Paulina), the Egyptian Theatre (Coos Bay), and Sacajawea State Park (Pasco, Washington).

Ms. Kaser will be presenting on New Dreams in Old Buildings, a focus on early building practices in Oregon.

The SLC appreciates any help we can get to continue hosting events like this! A $10 donation would be greatly appreciated, but feel free to donate what you are able to. You can donate online or in person at the event.
