Third Ave., Camas, to make a presentation on John McLoughlin, who is frequently referred to as “The Father of Oregon.” The presentation is sponsored by the Camas-Washougal Historical Society.
Matthews will discuss McLoughlin’s role in the development of the Northwest and contributions he made to the life of early settlers. He also will bring along some artifacts, such as a Hudson’s Bay blanket and fur pelts.
