Historic Oregon City, operated by Clackamas Heritage Partners, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit located at the official End of the Oregon Trail in historic Oregon City. The End of the Oregon Trail Visitor & Interpretive Center is situated on land that had been inhabited and cultivated by numerous Indigenous communities since time immemorial, before their removal to the Grand Ronde Reservation in 1855. The

End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center reopened in July 2022 with a new film, produced in collaboration with members of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde community, called "Oregon's First People." The Interpretive Center contains exhibits that detail the lives of people and communities who traveled or were affected by the Oregon Trail. Admission & Pricing:

$17/adults (18-99) & $15/youth (ages 4-17). Children 3 and under are free, as well as elders (ages 100+)

Guests should check in at the Visitor Center for tickets, and the last admission to the Interpretive Center is at 4:30 daily. Remember, all brochures and travel assistance available at the Visitor Center are free! Before and/or after visiting the Interpretive Center, please enjoy our Visitor Center lounge, where you can choose from a great selection of local products, snacks, and items made by our interpreters. Our mission is to "preserve the heritage, educate the public, and interpret the history of the Oregon Trail, Clackamas County and Oregon City, the western terminus of the Oregon Trail." HOC develops and manages programs offered at the Visitor Center and continues to develop educational services for schools and groups in Oregon.

We‘d like to send a special thank you to the incredible beings that made this possible. Parades are loud and joyous and it takes incredible skill and patience from both horses and their drivers to participate.

We are deeply grateful for this new relationship and we look forward to the next steps of bringing this lovely team to Oregon City soon.

What an amazing day! We hope you enjoyed our Grand Rose Parade Float this year as much as we did. We have many people to thank who had a hand in getting our float ready: The City of Oregon City for the bicentennial wagon, Travel Oregon, Oregon's Mt. Hood Territory, and Travel Oregon City for the license plates, Rose City Float Designs for making our wagon stunning and arranging the sweetest Percheron draft horses, the Sons and Daughters of the Oregon Pioneers for walking with us, the Oregon City coordinating heritage committee for sending your best dressed people, the Rose Festival for putting on the event, the Grand Floral Parade for letting us participate, and our Marshall for being so amazing. And thank you to all those who came out to support us and see our float. We couldn't have accomplished this endeavor without each one of you.
