McMenamins presents Edgefield History Night
sponsored by Troutdale Historical Society
2018 History Night @ McMenamin Edgefield's Blackberry Hall
2126 SW Halsey Street - Troutdale
6:30 p.m. (doors at 5:30 p.m.)
- November 27 - (note topic and presenter change from original listing) The Ice Age Oregon Trail Presented by Rick Thompson, President of the Lower Columbia Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute. The rich soil of the Willamette Valley is from eastern Washington, brought here by the ice age Lake Missoula Floods. It was this soil that attracted Oregon Trail pioneers to become part of one of the largest non-forced migrations in all of history. But did you know that, from Pendleton to the Dalles, some of the trails the pioneers used were actually channels of those very floods? Celebrate the 175th Anniversary of the Oregon Trail by joining us for Thompson’s visual journey with photos, LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) images and maps along the canyons, through the water gaps and next to the giant gravel bars the pioneers saw as they traveled the flood channels carved long before they arrived.
