Peace Pole at Old College Hall, Forest Grove, Oregon, USA

March-July 2026

Old College Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, just a year after the Rotary Club of Forest Grove created the Concours d ‘Elegance to raise funds for scholarships and community service projects, including the recent installation of a Peace Pole near Old College Hall. 

Another such project funded by the Rotary Club of Forest Grove is a labyrinth next door to Old College Hall built in honor of President Faith Gabelnick who served Pacific from 1995 to 2005. Make sure to visit and take a walk after you’ve taken in all the Concours d ‘Elegance has to offer.

Pacific University would like to thank the dedicated docents from the Friends of Historic Forest Grove for donating their time, energy, and knowledge to guiding tours at Old College Hall every month.
