Sunday Stills: History

June 25 was the 60th anniversary of the start of the Korean War. Oregon has two memorials to the Korean War, one at Willamette National Cemetery, and one in Wilsonville. I stopped at Wilsonville's Town Center Park on the way home from the barn to find preparations had been made at the memorial for commemorative ceremonies.

The truck was brought in special for the ceremonies. The other photos are part of the permanent memorial.

Wilsonville was originally called Boone's Landing. A grandson of Daniel Boone established a Willamette River ferry crossing that was the primary north/south access between Portland and the Willamette Valley. Boone's Landing was later renamed after the town's first postmaster.

Folks in the Portland metro area are familiar with Boone's Ferry Road. The Boone Bridge carries I-5 across the Willamette River east of the original ferry site.
