Disciples of Vulcan: Examining the Oregon Hill Community

- Sep 7, 2009

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 immigrant ironworkers and developed into a tight-knit working class neighborhood. Using images from the History Center’s collection, the exhibition traces the development of the neighborhood’s residents, businesses, institutions and preservation challenges.
