WILLAMETTE FALLS PAPERMAKING

Who are the people behind Oregon’s industrial revolution at Willamette Falls? Through personal stories of Oregon City and West Linn paper mill workers and wondrous photographs, this presentation by Bob Bresky, author of "The Papermakers: More Than Run of the Mill," talks about the industry’s inspiring, funny, and sometimes controversial past, beginning with the building of very first paper mill in Oregon in 1867.
