“Go west young man and grow up with the country.” While many men did heed this call to the western frontier seeking adventure and fortune, most women came with their families– as children, as wives and often as mothers caring for children.
This tour will highlight their unique stories and their roles in the community as Portland transitioned from a rough and tumble frontier town to an early 20th century city.
As we walk through beautiful Lone Fir Cemetery, we will visit the gravesites of women whose names you may recognize as Portland’s founding families: Terwilliger, McLoughlin, Macleay, as well as lesser-known women whose contributions through civic, philanthropic, and religious organizations improved the lives of Portlanders.
The Women’s Tour will begin at the Soldiers Monument (center of the cemetery) at 10:00 am and will last approximately 2 hours. Donations/tickets are $10 and you can reserve a spot in
advance here or on our website.
The Women’s Tour will be held on the following Fourth Saturdays of the month (10:00 am- noon):
