OTE’s Heritage Programs seek sponsors for our series of historical markers. Oregon Historical Markers are designed to encourage motorists to stop and explore the state’s diverse regional history, culture and geology. We need your help to preserve them for future generations. Potential sites include public parks, welcome centers and rest areas along major highways.
