Marking Historical
Preservation Month
By Sue Stafford
Correspondent
May is National Historic
Preservation Month here in
Sisters, throughout Deschutes
County, and across the U.S.
There’s a month’s worth of
activities for people to partici-
pate in and historic places to
visit throughout the county.
This Place Matters, spon-
sored by the National Trust
for Historic Preservation, is a
national campaign to encour-
age preservation of impor-
tant historic structures and
sites in our local community.
During May, and beyond,
check out what is being done
to preserve the heritage of
Central Oregon. Visit www.
deschuteshistory.org/historic-
preservation-month for a full
schedule of events.
Sisters lost so many of
its earliest buildings in the
two fires of 1923 and 1924,
leaving very few heritage
sites still standing. Among
those remaining are the
buildings currently housing
Sisters Bakery, Drawstrings
of Malibu, Sisters Saloon
& Ranch Grill, and Sisters
HomeLand Realty, as well
as the Sisters School District
Administration building.
The Three Sisters
Historical Society plans to
bring historic Sisters alive
through photographs, oral
histories, walking tours, and
educational events for old and
young throughout the sum-
mer. On Monday, May 14, 7
p.m. at FivePine Conference
Center, the historical society
will be hosting the Friends of
the Santiam Pass Ski Lodge,
a preservation project being
undertaken in our own back-
yard. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
The event is free to the public.
On Friday, May 25, 4 to 7
p.m., experience “Cowboys
and Settlers in Sisters.” As
part of the Fourth Friday Art
Stroll in Sisters, come view
the artwork of cowboy artist
Len Babb and meet the art-
ist. The art will be on display
in the 1908 home of Sisters
early settler, stockman, black-
smith, and businessman Hardy
Allen. Current owner of the
house, Ali Mayea of Sisters
HomeLand Realty, will pro-
vide refreshments and give
guided tours. Get a glimpse of
early-day Sisters, learn about
the Three Sisters Historical
Society (that will be offering
for sale a few historic framed
photos of Sisters), and view
Babb’s work that reflects the
life of the working cowboy, so
much a part of the history of
Central Oregon. The house is
located at 401 E. Main Ave.
Worth a trip to Redmond
is a stop at the old Evergreen
School (originally Redmond
Union High School) that has
been preserved and beauti-
fully restored to serve as
Redmond’s new City Hall at
411 SW 9th St. The interior
walls are covered with large
photos from old RHS year-
books. Vintage details have
been either preserved or rep-
licated to maintain the build-
ing’s historic integrity while
offering the latest in technol-
ogy and energy conservation.
Three Sisters Historical
Society has partnered with
Deschutes County Historical
Society, Deschutes County
Historic Landmarks Commis-
sion, the Landmark Commis-
sions of Bend and Redmond,
Deschutes Public Library,
Bowman Museum and the
Deschutes Land Trust to dem-
onstrate how historic preser-
vation enhances quality of life.

Students’ musicianship recognized
Three Sisters High School
students were recognized for
their musicianship at the state
level recently. These mem-
bers of the wind ensemble
competed in the Central
Oregon Solo and Ensemble
Festival and received state
qualifying scores for their
instruments, meaning they
were eligible to advance to
the state competition.
Junior Dalton Gonzales
on trumpet, freshmen Connor
Martin on alto saxophone, and
Jack Ogan on tuba were the
students who earned kudos
for their individual musician-
ship. Ogan was the only auto-
matic qualifier because he
took first place at the district
festival. Gonzales and Martin
were both listed as alternates,
and eventually Gonzales was
selected to represent Central
Oregon at the state festival.
The OSAA (Oregon School
Activities Association) Solo
State Championships took
place at Pacific University
in Forest Grove at the end of
April.
Tyler Cranor, director
of bands for Sisters School
District, keeps all of his stu-
dent musicians busy perform-
ing at district festivals, honor
bands, school performances,
and community events such
as the My Own Two Hands
parade. He was impressed
that these students also found
the time to learn new music
and try out for the state
competition.
“These three students have
really set the bar high for the
future of this program. The
