Speakers: Members of the Sons and Daughters of Oregon Pioneers
Our speakers for October 14th will be members of the Sons and Daughters of Oregon Pioneers. The Oregon Pioneer Association was formed in 1875 to create one central organization from the several pioneer groups that had been active since 1850. That Association became the Sons and Daughters of Oregon Pioneers in 1897 and incorporated in 1901, with the purpose of keeping the spirit, memories, and stories of our forebears alive for future generations. In keeping with that purpose, the SDOP celebrates Oregon’s entry as a state of the Union on February 14, 1859, our Valentine present to the United States.
