Memories of Family Camp to be shared at Little Island Creamery

Local history will come alive on Sunday, January 19 at the Venue at Little Island Creamery when Dan Cothren and family share memories of living in a family camp in the 1950-60s.

Logging was king on the Lower Columbia River in the late 1800s-1970’s. Family camps, where loggers and their families lived, dotted the local hills between Warrenton and Cathlamet. Crown Zellerbach, the largest of the companies, had a large and vital family camp.

Stories and anecdotes will create a fascinating walk back in time. Members of the audience who also have experience in a family camp will also have time to share memories. Refreshments will be available for sale. The event is from 2-4 p.m. Tickets on Eventbrite or at the door $10.
