History

Oregon's historic trails are meant to be enjoyedIn 1998, the financial assets of the Oregon Trails Coordinating Council were transferred to The Oregon Community Foundation to establish the Oregon Historic Trails Fund, dedicated to projects related to Oregon historic trails as recognized by the state legislature in ORS 358.075.

The history of the Oregon Trails Coordinating Council and the creation of the Oregon Historic Trails Fund can be found in the project history of the 1998 Oregon Historic Trail Report.

Since 1998, the fund has awarded 36 grants totalling just under three quarters of a million dollars. The Oregon Historic Trails Fund accepts applications for grant funds each year.
