Ghost towns on Bridal Veil Creek topic of talk
Tom Cowling will discuss the log camps on Bridal Veil Creek at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 20, at the Troutdale Historical Society Barn Museum, 732 E. Historic Columbia River Highway.
The slide show and discussion will focus on Palmer and New Palmer, communities along Bridal Veil Creek that Cowling frequented before his family left town in 1960 when the Bridal Veil mill was sold at an auction.
Today, Bridal Veil includes a post office and cemetery, but Cowling recalls when it was a thriving town, and when Palmer, now with only a few rusty artifacts, was bustling.
The program is free to the public, and light refreshments will be served. In case of inclement weather, the program will be rescheduled.
