Legacy of Lewis and Clark
In 1804–1806, Lewis and Clark journeyed through what would become Oregon's Mt. Hood Territory. Their journey planted the seeds of settlement, a legacy, which beckoned pioneers only 40 short years later to move westward along the Oregon Trail. The tour combines the story of Lewis and Clark's journey with that of the pioneers of the 1840–50s that settled in Oregon City. |
