As Dayton’s oldest historic district, the Oregon is a rich mix of historic and contemporary homes. The neighborhood’s distinctive architecture ranges from the mid-1800s to modern. The garden tour demonstrates how much can be done with urban gardening spaces, ranging from small to large gardens tucked alongside and behind historic homes.
