Description
Who are the people behind Oregon’s industrial revolution at Willamette Falls? This presentation answers that question, beginning with the much-ballyhooed opening of the Oregon paper mill in 1867, and ending with the closure of the West Linn Paper Company, a mill that had carried the heritage of the Willamette Falls papermaking industry for over 128 years. Through personal stories of the Oregon City and West Linn paper mill workers and wondrous photographs, this presentation by Bob Bresky, author of "The Papermakers: More Than Run of the Mill," talks about the industry’s inspiring, funny, and sometimes controversial past, and how its legacy carries on into the present day. Join us Wednesday, October 17th at MOOT's Murdock Gallery for our latest Murdock Talk. Talk begins at 7:00 PM, arrive early for assured seating.
