Our Story:
50 YEARS AGO, the first issue of the Portland Anchor rolled off the press. Its founders were a group of driven Portland activists determined to uplift their neighborhood through sharing stories of strength, beauty, and community. Today, Portland Museum is happy to be the new steward of this cherished forum and we invite you to participate!
