Welcome to Project Preservation
The OPHS is dedicated to the keeping our heritage and history alive. Although many of our historical buildings from the days our city became a vibrant homestead are gone, Brad Moore, our president, has been reconstructing some of our memorable buildings to finite detail. They are currently on display at our Heritage Center at the JOCO museum. Our ever changing city encourages the OPHS to keep some of these iconic landmarks alive. Enjoy the memories of what they were in their years in the OP landscape. |
