| Oregon's 16 Historic Trails |
|
In 1998, the Governor established the Oregon Historic Trails Advisory Council (OHTAC) to oversee and provide advice on Oregon's 16 historic trails.
We are nine volunteer citizens, working together to advise the Governor and to locate, preserve and encourage the use of these historic trails by Oregonians and visitors alike. We meet quarterly to explore one of the historic trails. Guided by residents and public agency experts, we evaluate and record trail conditions and discuss opportunities for the marking and interpretation of the trails.
Our goals include collecting and sharing information on locating and marking trails; encouraging local communities and agencies to develop directional and interpretive signs, brochures and maps, and helping them find the resources to protect and share these corridors of history.
We invite you to attend one of our meetings that are scheduled three times each year. And, we'll be happy to send an OHTAC representative to your community to see your historic trail. For information about the next scheduled meeting, see the Heritage Programs Events Calendar, or to contact individual OHTAC members, call the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department's Heritage Programs division at (503) 986-0681.
We hope to meet you soon along one of Oregon's Historic Trails!
