Willamette Falls Locks History Subject of Next "Pints from the Past"

While the Willamette Falls Locks have been closed for five years, they have been a part pf the history of Oregon City and surrounding area since 1867.

And with efforts well underway to get them reopen, there is a concerted effort to get a new generation to understand their cultural and economic significance.

Monday night that effort heads to Midway Bar at 1003 Seventh Street in Oregon City where the monthly Pints from the Past sponsored by Clackamas County Heritage Society will take place.

Doors open at 5:30 and the event is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m.

Given previous turnouts, the Society recommends showing up early.
