The Oregon Historical Society has announced the 2014 recipients of the Oregon History Makers Medal. First awarded in 2009, the History Makers Medal is presented annually by OHS to individuals and organizations that are positively shaping the history, culture, and landscape of Oregon. Three individuals and the Bandon Dunes Golf Resort were named recipients. According to a news release, “Under the leadership of businessman and entrepreneur Mike Keiser, Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, which first opened in 1999 and now includes five golf courses, has made Oregon’s south coast a must-see destination for golfers around the world. It has been hailed by one golf publication as nothing less than “the best place on the planet to golf.” The Oregon History Makers Medal will be presented at a dinner at the historic Montgomery Park building in Portland on Sunday, October 5, 2014. Table sponsorships and individual tickets are available; for more information, please contact Sue Metzler, Director of Development, at 503-306-5229 or sue.metzler@ohs.org.
