This walking tour will highlight some of the architectural and historical features of the Oregon Historic District. The area we know as the Oregon District was designated an historic district by the City of Dayton in 1972 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The first plat for this area was recorded in 1829; the Oregon District displays a variety of housing types, from simple artisan dwellings to more elaborate, high-style residences of various architectural styles.
