The display is mesmerizing in its beauty and sober message: Each flag represents five Iraq War casualties-at least 655,000 Iraqi deaths and 3,972 American casualties. ◄ An encyclopedia for us all PORTLAND STATE IS partnering with Oregon Historical Society to create an online encyclopedia of"everything or anyone in Oregon." Under the guidance of history Prof. Bill Lang, a Web site was launched-now it's up to all Oregonians to flesh out the information. At www.oregonencyclopedia.org, people can suggest entries or write actual submis­ sions. There are guidelines asking that entries be significant to Oregon, and nothing will go live until experts review content and check it for accuracy. 1he Oregon Encyclopedia already has information on Japanese internment, KBOO radio, and the Lewis and Clark Exposition, to name a few entries. The volunteer organizers of the new resource are also actively seeking information. They plan to The Lewis and Clark Exposition held in Portland visit about 30 communities in Oregon during the next year. in 1905 is one of the many events to be included Lang hopes this community outreach will make people "aware of what's important in the new online Oregon Encyclopedia.

    Trip #1 Bingo Clues: Waterfall Alley (Troutdale to Ainsworth) TRIP #1: ROW 1 #1, 1B: VISIT HISTORIC TROUTDALE Coined the “Gateway to the Gorge,” this city at the western boundary of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area provides a great starting point for your road trip. The town was named in 1880 by Captain John Harlow, who had a trout-stocked fish pond in a small dale near his house. #1, 1I: SELFIE WITH SAM HILL “Who in the Sam Hill was Sam Hill?” Sam Hill was larger than life. He was a businessman, philanthropist, and an advocate for good roads. Sam was the driving force behind the Columbia River Highway; in fact, it’s safe to say that without his influence, there would be no Historic Highway today. Stop at Portland Women’s Forum State Park and locate the profile of Sam Hill on a plaque on the big rock near the entrance to the park. I’m sure Sam will hold still for your selfie. Share your photo on Instagram at #gorgebingo if you want. Note: There is a new bronze statue of Sam Hill and Historic Highway engineer Samuel Lancaster at Visionary Park & Monument in Troutdale. Feel free to take a visit. #1, 1N: HISTORIC ROUTE 30 SIGN The sign reads “Historic Route” with “Oregon – US 30” on a shield in the middle located along the entire route of the Historic Highway. The Historic Columbia River Highway is a 73-mile section of the entire 3,073-milelong Route 30, which runs east-west between Astoria, Oregon, and Atlantic City, New Jersey.

  • The Benson Hotel Unveils New Stairwell Display Showcasing Over 100 Years of History
    THE BENSON HOTEL UNVEILS NEW STAIRWELL DISPLAY SHOWCASING OVER 100 YEARS OF HISTORY The twelve-story stairwell tells the illustrious history of both the property’s hundred-year transformation and Portland through archival photos and fun facts 1 PORTLAND, Ore. (November 8, 2019) – The Benson Hotel, a 287-room property located near Portland’s iconic Pearl District, operated and managed by Coast Hospitality, has announced the unveiling of its new “Historic Stairwell” exposition. The twelve-story original marble stairwell now showcases photographs of the property’s history, as well as that of Portland. This museum-like permanent exhibition was developed to honor the iconic past of The Benson and Portland, as well as to provide a truly authentic and unique guest experience. “We are excited to tell our story in this distinctive way,” said George Schweitzer, Managing Director of the Benson. “The Historic Stairwell will create an memorable experience for our guests, immersing them in the rich history of Portland and The Benson Hotel.” A Portland landmark, The Benson Hotel is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1912, it has endured over 100 years of transformation, with many notable and celebrated moments. The stairwell features photographs of how founder and designer Simon Benson and architect A. E. Doyle built the hotel, as well as its metamorphosis over the decades. The exhibit also includes images of over 50 other famous Portland landmarks, dating back to 1847. Guests are invited to learn interesting facts about the city, including how it got its name, the origins of the century-old annual Rose Festival and why SW Broadway was once called “the brightest street in the world.” The Benson has always attracted big names: film stars, musicians, athletes and nearly every US president since William H.

  • Introductory Session
    The Oregon Historical Society welcomes you to our museum. Located on the third floor is the Oregon, My Oregon exhibit. You will learn all types of interesting facts and information about the founding and history of Oregon. From the settlements of the Native Americans to the exploration by both Europeans and Americans (including Lewis and Clark) to the pioneers who blazed a trail to Oregon to settle. You’ll get to experience history by feeling some of the artifacts that the museum has to offer. The intent of this book is to provide you with some of the major highlights and items within the exhibit. As you can feel through the tactile map provided, the exhibit is broken down into multiple areas. We tried to identify some of the significant items in each of those areas as it pertains to Oregon’s history. To try and list each item shown in the exhibit would make this book extremely heavy and you would probably spend more time reading than actually enjoying the exhibits. We hope that you are excited as we are to share this exhibit with you. Portland State University student Terry Blosser worked with Denise Brock of the Oregon Historical Society to navigate the exhibit and to select key items which would be of interest to most museum guests, including you. With Denise’s assistance, Terry used his guide dog and at times, his iPhone to navigate the exhibits. He found that his iPhone was a tremendous help for him. He has Retinitis Pigmentosa. If you have a smart phone with a camera, it may help you to view some of the items behind the glass partition.

  • “Sig” Unander (1913 – 1978) Was a Distinguished Member of the “The Greatest Generation”
    Portland, OR [email protected] 503-319-6358 “When the war ended, more than twelve million men and women put their uniforms aside and returned to civilian life. They went back to work at their old jobs or started small businesses; they became big-city cops and firemen; they finished their degrees or enrolled in college for the first time; they became schoolteachers,” ― Tom Brokaw, The Greatest Generation Sigfrid Benson “Sig” Unander (1913 – 1978) was a distinguished member of the “The Greatest Generation”. He was born the grandson of Oregon lumberman and philanthropist Simon Benson. After attending Harvard Law School he was appointed Executive Assistant to Gov. Charles A. Sprague and completed foundational work for the Public Employee Retirement System (PERS). As WWII approached, Unander resigned to volunteer for Military service. In 1942 he was promoted to CPT and sent to North Africa, one of the first American officers to land with invasion forces in Algeria for Operation Torch. Fluent in French, he did liaison work with the Free French and British Commands. Promoted to MAJ, he performed essential security co- ordination for FDR’s conferences at Teheran and Cairo. He then administrated Winston Churchill’s 3-week stay in Marrakesh, Morocco planning the invasion of Anzio. This was followed by involvement in planning invasions into southern France and Germany. By the end of the “…to a Comrade-in-Arms” War he was decorated by four foreign governments. After the war, Unander rose rapidly in state politics, becoming Chairman of the Oregon Republican Party in 1948. In 1952 / ‘56 he was elected to two terms as State Treasurer.
