Help Preserve and Promote Local History!

Purchasing a tax-deductible engraved brick for $75 shows your love and support for your family and the city’s rich history.

Washougal, Washington – August 19, 2019 – The deadline to help preserve and promote local history with an engraved brick is September 14, 2019.  Keep local history alive and celebrated by adding your family’s engraved brick to those memorializing natives and early homesteaders that settled in Parker’s Landing, Washougal and Camas.

Parker’s Landing was the first American settlement in the state of Washington. David C. Parker traveled by wagon train across the Oregon Trail arriving in 1845. He planted potato seeds purchased from the British Hudson’s Bay Company at Fort Vancouver and built a dock, called Parker’s Ferry (later named Parker’s Landing). Ferries traveling from The Dalles to Portland stop at today’s Parker’s Landing National Historic Site, which is a part of the Camas-Washougal Port and Marina Park.

Your engraved brick will be displayed at Parker’s Landing National Historic Site or the adjacent Chinook Plaza near VanVleet Plaza.

Purchasing a tax-deductible engraved brick for $75 shows your love and support for your family and the city’s rich history. The deadline for this year’s brick engraving is September 14, 2019. You may download the form here.
