As Oregon's only statewide historic preservation nonprofit, Restore Oregon has delighted and inspired mid-century modern audiences for over 10 years via their celebrated annual MCM Design Series and Home Tour, which offered both a deep dive into the work of Oregon's mid-century modern masters and visits to carefully-selected homes which embody the very best of Pacific Northwest modern design. Building on our MCM work, in 2023 Restore Oregon launched a year full of mid-century modern educational experiences through Restore Oregon Modernism, highly curated architecture and design events to inspire Oregonians to preserve, reuse, and pass forward mid-century modern gems year-round.
