On
the evening of December 8th, 2001, the Cascade Geographic Society bestowed a
variety of awards on individuals and organizations who have assisted them
throughout the year on programs and projects. And, what was interesting about
all of the winners, none was looking for recognition, but just wanted to
contribute.

In Sincere Appreciation of
the Contributors to "Stage Stop Road Interpretative Center"
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The Cascade Geographic
Society is a non-profit 501(c)(3) all-volunteer organization. The donation of
time, funds, artifacts, maps, documents, and services, as well as personal
historical knowledge, by many individuals, businesses, and groups, has allowed
³Stage Stop Road Interpretative Center² to exist as a free, educational
facility. It is located at ³Little Meadows², which was first a Native American
camp site, and, later, utilized by ³overland² emigrants traveling over the
Barlow Trail/Oregon Trail as a camping and resting area prior to becoming part
of one of the first stage stops in the Mount Hood Area.
Some of the donations to
³Stage Stop Road Interpretative Center² were done so in the name of specific
individuals, and, they too, have been added to this plaque. This makes the gift
a ³living memorial² and recognizes who these people are and their support for
educational heritage facilities like this one.
We are also deeply indebted
to Bob and Margaret Thurman for allowing ³Stage Stop Road Interpretative Center²
to be housed here at the Mountain Center. Their generosity and unselfish
foresight allows thousands of people to learn about the Oregon Trail on Mount
Hood, as well as about the Native Americans, the Mountain Men and the fur
traders, the early-day settlers, the homesteaders, and the first visionary
resort-builders, as well as about the fish and wildlife and other natural
resources, and the important relationship of all of these treasures to the
heritage of the Old Oregon Country. ____________
This plaque will be updated
periodically in order to add
(alphabetically) the names of
recent contributors to ³Stage Stop Road Interpretative Center². In order to
show our sincere appreciation, all donors to this educational project will be
inscribed here to publicly recognize them for giving what they could to help
preserve our heritage for future generations and their children¹s children¹s
children.
