On the show today, we talked about the many times throughout our history in the mid-Willamette valley that local residents, individually or corporately, have chosen for various reasons to relocate entire buildings, even entire towns, to another site.

In today's post, we're showcasing photographs of many of those uprooted or replaced pieces of our past.
