Telling our collective stories through historic preservation
Welcome
Welcome
Historic Jefferson Westside in Eugene, OR, is a project of the Jefferson Westside Neighbors Association. In 2022, the executive board launched a task force to "explore the possibility of creating an historic district in the JWN. The HDTF will gather information and coordinate all public processes related to the charge." One outcome of that charge is this website, which serves as a public record of the group's work.
Here are a few tasks project participants have accomplished so far.
