The Architectural Heritage Center connects people and place, past and future.
The AHC educates and advocates for Portland’s historic built environment. Our programs—walking tours, exhibitions, digital projects, talks, and advocacy efforts–promote our built and cultural heritage as a vital element of livable, sustainable, communities.
The Architectural Heritage Center is owned and operated by the Bosco-Milligan Foundation.
