The Oregon Historical Society is recognizing Papé for its 85 years of dedication to business innovation and community service at this year’s prestigious Oregon History Makers event. This event, which honors individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to Oregon’s history, culture, and landscape, will take place on Sunday, October 6 at the Portland Art Museum.

Established in 2009, the Oregon History Makers Awards & Dinner is an annual celebration that honors contemporary leaders and organizations making history through scientific discovery and exploration, innovations in business, communications, and the arts, or dedicated community service. This event also aids the Oregon Historical Society in its essential mission to collect, preserve, and interpret Oregon's rich past.

As a leader in business and community involvement, Papé is honored to be among this year’s distinguished honorees. Alongside Papé, the Oregon History Makers will recognize the transformative technology of Dr. David Huang, the tribal and conservation leadership of Charles F. Sams III, and the pioneering entrepreneurship of Susan Sokol Blosser in the Oregon wine industry.

Susie Papé, Board Chair, Jordan Papé, CEO, and Ryan Papé, President of Papé Machinery Agriculture and Turf, express their sincere gratitude: "We are thrilled and honored to be recognized by the Oregon Historical Society. This recognition is not just about our success in the past, but how we build on the past to create a better future for generations to come." They also extend heartfelt congratulations to each of the honorees, "We share this honor with the other amazing honorees, whose remarkable contributions have significantly shaped Oregon's vibrant history and promising future."

As a family-owned business instrumental in shaping the infrastructure of the West for four generations, Papé continually sets the standard for excellence within the industries it serves. From farming to forestry, construction to trucking, Papé’s commitment to keeping the West moving has remained steadfast. This year’s recognition as an Oregon History Maker is a testament to Papé’s legacy of innovation, community service, and leadership.

In addition to being recognized, Papé is a proud sponsor of this year’s Oregon History Makers event. With a rich history of supporting local charities, such as FFA organizations, educational foundations, family centers, churches, children’s hospitals, and more, their sponsorship of this event continues their tradition of community involvement. 

Papé invites the community to celebrate this momentous occasion and support the Oregon Historical Society’s vital work in preserving the narratives that define Oregon. Together, we honor the past and build towards an even more dynamic and prosperous future. Table sponsorships and individual tickets are available.
