Photos from the Oregon City Historic Walk

Julie's youngest daughter, my youngest daughter, and my son join us on this walk.

The Church we saw at the begining of the walk

All of the historic houses we saw were labeled with signs (my guess is the original owners)

We all loved this tree and thought is was very cool!

Another cool looking tree

Yes, I took a photo of a chicken statue on someone's porch (it made me laugh and therefore needed to have a photo taken).

We find another chicken coop on our walk....

The kids all agreed this was one very large stone and wondered how long it had been there.

The Barclay House

Out in front of the McLoughlin house

The McLoughlin graves

The kids were not sure if this was real or not, but it was very neat looking

This tells about the McLoughlin family

Picture of Oregon City

A little bit of history of the area



On our way to the Oregon City Elevator (round building)

The Oregon City Elevator

A little bit about the elevator


They have these really cool pictures that change depending on how you look at them (they even have them in the elevator).

Julie's daughter thought the railroad tracks looked cool, so we took a photo of them


A view of the river and Oregon City

We take the long way back up from the elevator, there were a few stairs to climb...

The waterfall built into the side of the hill

Another great shot of us! Good reasons to bring the kids along, we actually get our photo taken

Had to take another cool shoe photo, lots more feet in this one!

The tunnel under the road

Oregon City falls


One of the many museums we saw (going back another day to tour all of them)

This is the oldest house in Oregon, it is the Ermatinger house (again, going back to tour it at a later date)

You can learn about the house on your smartphone if you have one...
