Gresham Historic Campus--A History of Community Still at Work. We are very fortunate to have the work of many hands helping to preserve and restore some of Gresham's historic treasures. The Gresham Historical Society purchased the Zion Church (currently leased to Spinella’s Off the Wall Restaurant) and will be adding the Shattuck House, located across the street, sometime in the future. This preservation project, fueled by the hard work and generosity of many partners will speak to the value and history of community for generations to come.
