Portland's Best Brews Pub Crawl
1:00-4:30 PM - A 25-minute walk through historic downtown Portland will land us among some of Oregon’s best brew pubs. We will visit with head brewers and other knowledgeable folks at 10 Barrel Brewing, Von Ebert Brewing, and finish at the McMenamins Crystal Ballroom with food and libations. Learn about the state’s hop industry, the industry’s adaptive reuse of historic buildings, and the Oregon Hops and Brewing Archive located at Oregon State University. So bring some walking around money and your thirst and join us for an informal and fun tour of beer worth drinking. At the tour’s conclusion, head back to the hotel or venture out on your own to visit historic Powell’s Books and/or the many great restaurants of the Pearl District for dinner. Tour leaves from the Hilton Lobby.

LGBTQ History Walking Tour

Our route takes us about 2.5 miles (including a return to the conference headquarters on your own) with a modest elevation gain through the history of LGBTQ Portland. Hosted by Melissa Lang of the Gay and Lesbian Archives of the Pacific Northwest (GLAPN) and Peter Boag, WSU-Vancouver, we explore varied sites in Portland’s downtown that have held significance to our city’s lgbtq population from the late 19th century to the present. Depending on COVID restrictions, we will also visit the Oregon Historical Society where archivists will introduce us to the rich collections of GLAPN.

Cost: $10
Point people: Melissa Lang (Gay and Lesbian Archives of the Pacific Northwest) and Peter Boag (WSU-Vancouver)
Heritage Tree Walking Tours
Heritage Tree Walking Tour, Group 1 - 1:30-2:30 pm
Heritage Tree Walking Tour, Group 2 - 3:00-4:00 pm
The City of Portland recognizes and protects over 350 Heritage Trees deemed significant for their age, size, species, or historical association. Beginning at the Hilton lobby, this one and one half mile walk through the central city will take you to some of Portland’s first and oldest Heritage Trees. Using the trees as anchors to the past, we will not only learn about Portland's Heritage Tree program, but the history of how a city nicknamed "Stumptown" replanted its urban forest and some stories of people who designed some of the city’s early public parks and gardens.
Capacity: 20
Cost: $10
Point Person: Dave Hedberg
