“The Oswego Pioneer Cemetery Association and the Oswego Heritage House have been outstanding hosts,” noted Kuri Gill, program coordinator. “The Oswego Pioneer Cemetery has a unique story in the state and the Commission is thrilled to learn more about it.”


State law established the seven-member commission to maintain a listing of all historic cemeteries and gravesites in Oregon; promote public education on the significance of historic cemeteries; and help obtain financial and technical assistance for restoring, improving and maintaining their appearances.
