A large group of Willamette Falls area young people stop for a photo on a Sunday afternoon, on a walk to Canemah. They were probably going to visit the park at the end of the trolley line.
A large group of Willamette Falls area young people stop for a photo on a Sunday afternoon, on a walk to Canemah. They were probably going to visit the park at the end of the trolley line.
This was seven years after the suspension bridge was built to the west side, and six years after paper mills were opened beside Willamette Falls Locks. Those mills can be seen in the background, along with the power poles that provided electricity to the trolley from the falls through the town of Willamette to the Tualatin River.
