Valentine History Center:
Opening May 14th : Disciples of Vulcan: Examining the Oregon Hill Community

“Bordered by Cary and Belvidere Streets to the north and east and Oregon Hill Parkway and Hollywood Cemetery to the south and west, Oregon Hill was settled in the 1840s by Irish and Welsh ironworkers and continues to thrive as a tight-knit working class neighborhood. Using images from the History Center photograph collection, the exhibition will trace the development of the neighborhood’s residents, businesses, institutions and preservation challenges.”
