Oregon Trail Pioneers come to life Memorial Day Weekend


We're prepping for a weekend with more than usual historic re-enactors, bringing the Oregon Trail days back to life by depicting pioneer characters. Narcissa Whitman has already made an appearance. Saturday and Sunday, we've set up the quilting frame, have a gunsmith, rag dolls, and then some "characters" who will be available to tell you have life on the Oregon Trail. Memorial Day weekend is, strangely, traditionally very rainy on this usually dry side of Oregon, so we always plan lots of things to do inside. Any nearby campers and tourists can find lots of dry things to do here.  If there is enough of a sun break, we might do some dutch oven cooking.
