Cascade Geographic Society is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit Oregon educational organization dedicated to preserving and promoting cultural, historical, and natural resources of the Cascade Mountain Range and all the lands and waters that it influences.
Our living history village on Mount Hood at Rhododendron, situated right on the Barlow Trail segment of the Oregon Trail that crossed over the Cascade Mountain Range, known as the "Oregon Country Settlement", is now open for storytelling programs and special workshops. These will take place in a Echo Lodge (a Native American Plank Lodge) - complete with totem poles, masks and other carvings including a stone double-fire pit.
Offered are stories of the Oregon Trail and Northwest Indian myths and legends.
