AOC in partnership with the Oregon Capitol Foundation and Oregon State Parks is proposing to place commemorative stepping stones on the capitol mall to acknowledge the existence of the three former Oregon counties.
The mall displays the names of all current Oregon counties on large square flagstones:
We propose to add the names of Champoeg, Tuality and Umpqua counties to those on the mall. The cast is $1800 the Capitol Foundation has contributed $900. We are asking for donations for the remaining $900. Donations may be made to:
