OREGON STORIES
OREGON STORIES is a documentary created by John Bognar and John Mays in 2007 chronicling the rollicking history of Dayton’s Historic Oregon District. The doc traces the history of The Oregon District from its beginnings as the city’s first platted neighborhood, providing housing for workers on the Miami-Erie canal, through the prosperous 1800’s, the 1913 flood, the industrial era, to the eventual blight of the 1950’s – 60’s. OREGON STORIES focuses on the period of renewal in the 1970’s when urban pioneers saved one of Dayton’s most unique neighborhoods. Full of great tales of people who lived it, OREGON STORIES brings history to life with a rich cast of characters and raises important contemporary questions about the nature of community. Sunday, March 1 at 5:00. Tickets are $12. The program will begin with an introduction by filmmakers John Bognar & John Mays, and audience members can share their own "Oregon Stories" after the film. Film-goers who want to continue the evening can call to make early dinner reservations at Jay’s Restaurant in the former Joseph Kratochwill's Dayton Corn and Grist Mill which once connected to the Miami- Erie Canal, now Patterson Boulevard.PT42M2026-03-01OREGON STORIES"OREGON STORIES"Showtimes
