HISTORIC THE DALLES DAYS

September 18 - 20, 2009
The Dalles, OR

The Dalles, Oregon will be celebrating Historic The Dalles Days the third weekend in September 2009 with museum tours, music, food, art and cultural activities for children and adults. We are an official OREGON150 PARTNER, celebrating Oregon's Sesquicentennial anniversary of entry into the union, February 14, 1859. Horse-drawn wagon rides, historical building tours, visits to Fort Dalles, the Original Wasco County Courthouse, the talking downtown murals, Wheels150 Vintage Vehicle Parade of antique cars, a Pioneer Home Show and Craft Fair, a Frontier Justice Trial at the Original Courthouse, music, food and fun all add up to a celebration of an old west frontier town that was the center of activity for pioneers, Native American trade, militia, gold miners and mountain men in the wild west. But the highlight in 2009 will be the arrival of the Oregon Statehood Wagon Train , a live wagon train now traveling from Huntington to The Dalles, along the historic Dalles Military Road.
