Save Our Historical Landmarks!


1920-21 School Year at Sherwood Elementary School, Sherwood Oregon

The Sherwood Foundation for the Arts and Humanities is Raising $2.5 Million to Save This Landmark in Old Sherwood Town. See the full report in the Portland Oregonian.

The citizens of Tualatin are also getting up in arms about their historic buildings. Last month four of us Sherwood Historical Society folks went to hear the Mayor of Tualatin praise the Tualatin Historical Society for their efforts to save an historic church. The city has earmarked matching funds for the project. Just down the road, another Tulatin building which we know as "Rich's Kitchen" is slated for the wrecking ball. Contact SaveTualatinHistory@comcast.net for more information. To help save the Sherwood School house, contact savetheoldschoolhouse@yahoo.com

To think that it is now the fall of 2007 and still nothing has been done. We are still spinning our wheels over this and the Arts Council has not been able to come up with that outragous amount of money. A small black box theater seating 50 is all we need. Lilly Morgen
