Dated statements about this place

1926 — Mason's summary, written in 1926, of the gold-filled boot legend, included reference to Oregon's first telegraph line that followed the old turnpike. Zybach (editorial) · source · 1921–1940
1961 — Once Susan had typed a soil north of Calloway Creek as a well-drained soil type, and I asked her to go back and check it because, when I built a road through the site in 1961, I had found it to be very poor-drained soil. Marvin Rowley · source · 1951–1970
