Yamhill Valley Heritage Center 11275 SW Durham Lane, McMinnville, OregonMany strong and sturdy women accompanied their husbands and children on the Oregon Trail in the 1840s and 1850s only to find themselves on isolated farms far from any neighbors once they arrived.

Join us to learn more about the unique and challenging conditions confronting Euro-American women in the early years of Oregon Territory’s history and how one woman took matters into her own hands.
