Executive Summary: "In 2017, the City of McMinnville began the process to develop a Historic Preservation Plan to guide the city's historic preservation efforts for the next 15-20 years. The City of McMinnville received a grant from the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to assist in the preparation of the historic preservation plan. Historic preservation is about preserving the buildings, structures, sites, and objects of our past. But more than that, historic preservation helps us ask questions about our history and what to preserve from our past for future generations. William Murtagh, the first keeper of the National Register of Historic Places, summarized historic preservation in his book 'Keeping Time: the History and Theory of Preservation in America', stating 'It has been said that, at its best, preservation engages the past in a conversation with the present over a mutual concern for the future. A historic preservation plan is the result of a process through which a community establishes its vision, goals, and priorities for the preservation of its historic resources. It is a city planning document that will help steer the city's historic preservation program." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior (grant number P17AF00025).
