Review of McLoughlin House National Hist...

This is one of the most important historical house...

This is one of the most important historical houses in the north west. It was the house of the Father of Oregon. With out him Oregon and Washington State could both be part of England or more likely part of Canada. It is a wonderful place to visit, and learn about the most important person in Oregon history and possibly Washington State history. It is also really quite fun to learn how they moved the entire house up the hill in Oregon City, with just one horse. That's amazing! It's a huge hill for one horse to do that. Dr. John McLoughlin is a VERY important historical figure for the Pacific Northwest's history, and it is a great idea for anyone and everyone to learn about him, his family, his actions, and how because of him, we can live where we do. Oregon has such an incredible, funny, and strange history.
