Adopt a Park ancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation believes that anyone and everyone can make a difference in how the 7,286 acres of local parks look and operate. By participating in the Adopt-A-Park program, volunteers will Vbeautify public space and build community. Park adopters can choose the days and times they want to volunteer and are asked to visit the park two or more times per month. Adopt-A-Park tasks vary depending upon on needs of individual parks, but in all cases volunteers are encouraged to help remove litter and weeds, clean play equipment and spread bark chips. In appreciation of the volunteers’ commitment and dedication to their adopted park, a recognition sign will be placed at the park’s entrance three months after the fi rst cleanup. This sign lets park visitors know that the group cares about YOUR NAME HERE! their community and value parks as an important resource. Since the program began in late 2011, volunteers have dedicated almost 2,300 hours of park service. This is a wonderful opportunity for individuals, families, For more information contact the parks volunteer program: 360-487-8344 scout troops, businesses, neighborhood associations and other groups to www.parkhero.org partner with the city and county to keep our parks clean and enjoyable.

Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyze the dispersion of architectural types within the Willamette Valley revealed trends amongst the extant settlement architecture samples. Brownsville, Oregon, was identified to have a locally-specific architectural subtype, the closer study of which enabled deeper investigation of the development of architectural landscapes during the Willamette Valley’s settlement period.

  • Barlow Road Toll Collection Authorization by Samuel K
    Barlow Road Toll Collection Authorization By Samuel K. Barlow This note, signed by Samuel K. Barlow, authorized Philip Foster to collect tolls from emigrants using the Barlow Road to cross the Cascades on their way to the Willamette Valley. The history of the Barlow Road began in the mid-1840s when large wagon trains of American emigrants were making their way to Oregon from the Midwest. In the fall of 1845, hundreds of emigrants finally reached The Dalles, where they faced a logistical crisis. Only a limited number of boats were available to ferry the overlanders down the Columbia, and local food stores were dangerously low. Faced with this grim situation, several families elected to try crossing the Cascade Range rather than wait indefinitely at The Dalles for passage to Fort Vancouver. Headed by Sam Barlow and William Rector, these families set out along the Deschutes River in late September 1845. They were later joined by a second party led by Joel Palmer. Their objective was to find a southern route around Mt. Hood. While earlier Native and non-Native travelers had crossed the Cascades, none had driven wagons over the mountain range. The emigrants’ attempt proved quite harrowing, but ultimately successful. After caching their wagons and extra supplies five miles south of Barlow Pass, the emigrants made their way on foot and on horseback down the western slope of Mt. Hood. They finally arrived in small parties at Philip Foster’s farm at Eagle Creek—present-day Clackamas County—in late December 1845. The emigrants made their way to Oregon City, subsequently returning to bring their wagons and remaining goods down Mt.

Today it is a modern small city packed with 5,700 years of history. It was home then to the Sequalitchew Nisqually Indians. In 1833 The Hudson’s Bay Co. built Fort Nisqually there and occupied the fort until it was sold to the government of the United States in 1869. In 1906 the Dupont de Nemours Company bought nearly five square miles of land for the manufacture of dynamite and black powder. Weyerhauser Timber Co. bought most of the land in 1976, and it was ultimately deeded to the City of Dupont. Dupont’s legacy lives on and the history abounds! We will hear and see the history of Fort Nisqually through the narration of Drew Crooks, an expert historian on the Hudson’s Bay Co. Drew has written books on the complex relationship of Native Americans with Hudson’s Bay Co. and the local settlers in mid-19th century Puget Sound. After a brief business meeting and the picnic, we will adjourn and take a short trip to see the site of Fort Nisqually and, for those who would like a short one-mile hike, walk a partly paved trail down Sequalitchew Creek to see the 5,700-year-old Indian village site, the Methodist Mission site, the original Hudson’s Bay Co.
