Heritage Trail Treck a Success

We had good crowds and the best bunch of actors ever. It was raining cats and dogs when the two pictures below were taken, but, thanks to Rebekah Lodge, we had our anti-Saloon Rally Anyway.

STEVE KENNER'S Photographs of the Event are Insightful as Well as Technically Excellent! Wish We had Room for Them All Here.

Saving the School House, an Update

Last night's City Council meeting was filled with public commentary about the Old School House building on the corner of Pine and Third, in Old Sherwood Town.

It used to look like this.


Now it looks like this (well, it did last winter anyway).

It's been really frustrating for us to stand up and demand the City save something that isn't actually there.

The man in charge of tearing things down and building things up in Old Sherwood Town is Jim Patterson of the City of Sherwood. After the Public Comment segment of the meeting ended, Patterson went out of his way to explain that the City wants to put the School House back the way it was in the earlier photograph. He's even been talking to the Sherwood School District about , you know, making it a genuine school house again, with real live kids and everything. "Let's never forget who we were." is Patterson's motto. At least one private party is interested in Patterson's concept as well.

I think it was Picasso who said Every Act of Creation is Also an Act of Destruction. Is the City our Picasso now?

September Fever

Gosh dang. What an interesting month. The Sherwood Historical Society has been busy at Champoeg and at Butteville Store just down the trail. We've made out like bandits at the fabled Music on the Green event. Artifacts galore are being gathered for display at the museum. Alas, this blogmeister remains speechless without a photograph or two to show. Hello? Anybody out there? I heard flash bulbs flashing during these events. Show us what you got!
