Culture

Cheryl's News From Pleasant Hill, Oregon
June 28, 2017


For many years I have been interested and fascinated with covered bridges. I was quite excited to learn that there are five in the area. We visited four. Three of the bridges are still in use. Even more fun and exciting is driving through the bridge. Yes, I am a cheap date. For some reason I thought covered bridges were rare. Check out this link to a map of covered bridges of Oregon. coveredbridgemap.com/or/

One of the great treats of volunteering in the Eugene/Springfield area is access to culture and museums. Time flies and we only experienced a few, big sigh.

Besides the covered bridge road trip we visited The Museum of Natural and Cultural History located on the University of Oregon campus. We chose to visit when a guided tour was being offered. The tour focus was coyote tales. Various native tribes gifted stories to the museum. Learning native culture and history through story was a delightful.
