Sightseeing
The McLoughlin House unit consists of the homes of McLoughlin, and of Dr. Forbes Barclay, an explorer and associate of McLoughlin's; the two homes are known respectively as the McLoughlin House and the Barclay House. They are located adjacent to each other on a bluff overlooking the Willamette River in Oregon City, Oregon, on a plot of land set aside for public use by McLoughlin in the 1840s.[8]
In 1846, McLoughlin left the employ of Hudson's Bay Company, and purchased from the company a land claim located on the Willamette River in Oregon City. McLoughlin constructed the house there, and lived there until his death in 1857.[9] The house, a two-style colonial mansion, is typical of East Coast residences from the time.[10]
After McLoughlin's death in 1857, his widow lived there until she died three years later; their heirs sold the house in 1867. The home soon became a bordello known as the Phoenix Hotel. In 1908, the paper mill that owned the property wished to expand and the house was threatened with demolition, but preservationists saved it the next year. The house was moved from the riverfront to its current location on a bluff overlooking downtown Oregon City in 1910. It sat there for twenty-five years, until restored in 1935-1936 under the auspices of the Civil Works Administration, and opened as a museum.[10]
The Barclay House was built in 1849 by Portland carpenter and pioneer John L. Morrison, and occupied by Dr. Barclay and his family. Barclay died in 1874; the house remained in the family's possession until 1930 when it was moved from the waterfront to its present location, next to the McLoughlin House. Today, the Barclay House contains museum offices and a gift shop.[11]
The McLoughlin House became a National Historic Site in 1941, and both homes were added to the National Park System in 2003, becoming part of the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site.[9][12] The McLoughlin House unit lies on the Oregon National Historic Trail, a part of the National Trails System. The graves of McLoughlin and his wife are on the premises.[13] The house contains both original and period furnishings.

Ride the elevator up, the walk under the road "bridge" to the McLoughlin House, the walk the Promenade to view the Falls and down the stairs to Historic Oregon City.
The Oregon City Municipal Elevator is a 130-foot (40 m)[2] elevator which connects two neighborhoods in Oregon City in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is the only outdoor municipal elevator in the U.S.[3] and one of only four in the world.[2] The upper portion contains an observation deck which accounts for its flying saucer appearance.
There have been two elevators at this location. The current elevator was built in 1954–55,[4] and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[1]

Everything Else
Canemah Historic Pioneer Cemetery is a local secret. You can park near the trail at a small park in a neighborhood near the trail. It's a easy about one mile walk through Metro Park land with views of Wilamette Falls on the way. The trail is used by locals and is safe.
The actual Cemetery gates are usually locked, and there is information on how to enter the Cemetery grounds. The walk is the best part.
In 1864 Absolom Hedges donated 1.91 acres for a cemetery. By 1865 the Canemah Cemetery Association was formed and received a deed. In 1883 the Rhinehart family donated a 30 ft. wide roadway to 5th Avenue. In 1914 the cemetery was surveyed and iron markers placed at each corner to replace original blaze marks on trees. In 1993, a new association was activated to maintain the property from decades of neglect. There are about 280 graves of pioneers and descendants of their families.

Chautauqua movement[edit]
In 1894, the Chautauqua movement made its way to Gladstone. Judge Cross established a fifty-year lease of Gladstone Park for this event after he was convinced by Oregon City author Eva Emery Dye that doing so would be a boon to the city and its people. Beginning on July 24–26, 1894, the newly formed Willamette Valley Chautauqua Association held an annual summer assembly that offered performances, lectures, and concerts.[21] This event would reoccur annually, until Gladstone's Chautauqua Park grew to be the third-largest permanent Chautauqua assembly park in the United States.[22]
In 1896, William Jennings Brian drew a crowd of 6,000 to Gladstone’s then 78-acre Chautauqua park to hear him give his popular lecture, “The Prince of Peace”, which stressed that Christian theology, through both individual and group morality, was a solid foundation for peace and equality.[23][24]
With the advent of radio, improved transportation and the appearance of traveling vaudeville acts in Portland, attendance at the Chautauqua began to dwindle. In 1927, the Willamette Valley Chautauqua Association went bankrupt. Judge Cross died on August 7, 1927, and shortly thereafter, Gladstone Park, including its buildings and Chautauqua Lake, were sold to the Western Oregon Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.[22]

The first Burgerville was located on Mill Plain Blvd in Vancouver, Washington about three miles east of downtown on the southeast corner of Mill Plain and Morrison. Burgerville was founded in 1961 by George Propstra in Vancouver, Washington.[4]
Burgerville is known for its progressive business practices and commitment to local resources.[5][6] The chain uses 100% wind power for all of its restaurants and headquarters,[7] and is the largest chain in America to do so. Burgerville uses only trans fat-free canola oil and sends 7,500 gallons per month to be transformed into biodiesel.[5] In 2004, Burgerville switched to range-fed beef raised without hormones and antibiotics.[5] In 2007, it began composting food waste which is expected to result in an 85% reduction in waste and $100,000 annual savings.[8]
In September 2009, Burgerville began allowing bicyclists to order using its drive-through windows to bicyclists after complaints from bicycle commuters. This program stands in contrast to policies at McDonald's and Burger King, which ban bikes from drive-throughs.[9]
The fast casual restaurant chain was named by Gourmet magazine as having the freshest fast food in the country in 2003,[10] with offerings such as a salad with smoked salmon and Oregon hazelnuts.[11] As of August 2007, their slogan is, "Choose Fresh, Local, Sustainable. Choose Burgerville." Also in 2007, Burgerville was awarded with the "Better Burger" award at the 1st Annual Food Network Awards.[12]
In January 2008, Jeff Harvey accepted the position of President and CEO of Burgerville after Tom Mears, the former holder of the titles stepped aside, and became Chairman of the company.[4]

Happyrock Coffee was built in 1999 by Kerry Conboy and her family. The name came from growing up in Gladstone. The old timers say “Happyrock… get it?” Kerry had a vision of serving high quality fresh roasted coffee in a comfortable neighborhood meeting place. They found a building from 1912 and renovated it into the coffee roastery it is today.
Happyrock Coffee Roasting Co is now run by Lisa Halcom. Lisa learned about coffee roasting at La Tazza Rossa, a small roaster she worked for in NE Portland for over two years. Then she ran Heart Attack Espresso-a mobile espresso cart out of an old ambulance-at events and festivals all over the area. She has over 15 years of coffee experience, and brought that to Happyrock in 2009.
