Most City offices will be closed Thursday, June 19, to observe Juneteenth
The City of Portland recognizes Juneteenth as a formal day of remembrance to honor Black American history and the end of slavery in the United States. Learn about Juneteenth.
Portland’s LGBTQ+ Historic Sites Project built on decades of community work to advance inclusion, recognition, and preservation. The 2022–24 phase resulted in a survey of places, a citywide historic context statement, and nomination of resources to the National Register of Historic Places.
The project honors and recognizes places of significance to Portland’s queer history. Community members are invited to view an interactive StoryMap and the final project documents to learn more about this important and often erased history. Photo credit: Oregon Historical Society Research Library
