The Architectural Heritage Center connects people and place, past and future. Each year we organize public programs, docent-led walking tours, and gallery exhibitions on a wide variety of topics related to Portland’s built environment. The Architectural Heritage Center is owned and operated by the Bosco-Milligan Foundation.
Our outdoor walking tours continue through November 3, limited to 8-9 participants with face coverings and social distancing required. Our galleries have reopened, following Oregon Health Authority guidelines. We have safety protocols in place, and welcome a limited number of visitors to ensure our visitors’ well-being. Masks are required.
