Spring Brings  Pioneer Days to Sherwood!!

Since the spring of 2001, the Sherwood Historical Society has hosted the

Fourth Graders and their Pioneer Days Experience. The activity is one of the

Oregon State Standards required by all 4th Grade students in their study of

the United States and Oregon History. We provide a focal point by showing

the things that settlers did as they went about their lives living off the land.

Students walk from their schools, sometimes with actual “covered wagons”

and costumes. When they arrive at the history center, we have learning

stations in rug making, baking, wood working, sewing, and clothes washing

around and in our 1869 Smock House. We also show other historic stations

in our 1900s Victorian Morback House, such as typewriters and a model of

Sherwood historic train.

The cost for a group tour is one dollar per student and all adults are

free. We divide the class into small groups with an adult and we give each

group a card with a list of their tour stations. Groups move from station to

station by bells and whistles that go off every 8-10 minutes.

We schedule Pioneer Days for the months of May and June, anytime

and any day on the weekdays. We also offer a 3rd Grade program titled “Our

Community, which also covers 3rd Grade Social Studies Standards in the

fall; the months of September and October. The cost of this program is the

same, but covers other ideas and activities.

Join us at the Sherwood History Center and see how your students can

“Make History.” Fill in the “Group Tour Form” and send it in. You can

bring your check to the museum the day of the Field Trip.

History Camp is June 17-21st. 

Register at the Morback House Museum! 

Pioneer Days are also being scheduled with Archer Glenn and Home schoolers coming off the trail on May 31st and Middleton coming June 7th.

A 108 Year Old Sasquatch Tale. 
From UO's Historic Newspaper Collection!
"Many of the miners avow that the 'wild man' is a reality. They have seen him and know whereof they speak. They say he is something after the fashion of a gorilla and unlike anything else either in appearance or action. He can outrun or jump anything else that has ever been known; and not only that but he can throw rocks with wonderful force and accuracy. He is about seven feet high, has broad hands and feet and his body is covered by a prolific growth of hair. In short he looks the very devil." --Myrtle Point Enterprise. 1904..

An Old Controversy...

The Sherwood Historical Society likes to make fun of Sherwood's onion farmers for taking the law into their own hands. However, the rascals resorted to dynamite only after they won their case to court and nothing happened. The "Lake" Oswego dam still stands!
