We are inviting community members to explore, learn about, and recreate the distinctive architectural landscape of historic Deschutes County. Participants will learn about the origins of our historic landmarks, the people and places behind them, and artistically recreate them with Lego/Duplo or other comparable brick art. The Deschutes Historical Museum will be a place for the community to gather and showcase the original works in an exhibit, bridging past and present in a unique way that celebrates our cultural heritage and brings people together.
