Description
McLoughlin House Founder's Day Open House will be celebrated on May 21 with FREE tours. Dr John McLoughlin was superintendent of the British Hudson's Bay Company based at Fort Vancouver. The fur trade brought the first permanent white settlers to the area. McLoughlin purchased land at Willamette Falls (Oregon City) and moved his family into a newly-built mansion in 1846. Authentic furnishings, artifacts and early photo take visitors back 150-years to the beginnings of the American West.
