Maxville Heritage Interpretive Center for exceptional work in preserving the Maxville townsite, a multi-racial logging community established in Wallowa County in the 1920s. The multi-phased approach included acquisition of the land, project of the last remaining building, archaeological research, and listing the site on the National Register
