“Maintaining historic integrity” seems to be a common excuse for not welcoming all. A 179 year old farm in Eagle Creek, Oregon is proving that history doesn’t have to be a barrier to access.
After receiving a $49,000 grant from the Clackamas County Office of Tourism, Philip Foster Farm has transformed their trail-era living history site, opening up more of its stories, buildings, demonstrations, and experiences to visitors who use mobility assistance. New pathway improvements are creating more accessible routes and welcoming all into the full experience.
It’s a practical investment with a bigger impact: removing barriers so more people can connect with Oregon’s history.
