Oaks Amusement Park in Portland

Did you know that The Oaks is the oldest continually running amusement park in the US?  Opened on May 30th, 1905, it is still one of Oregon's better kept secrets!  It is worth the visit!  You may even encounter the ghost of the little girl who wanders the grounds!

The view looking down the Avenue at The Oaks.  Around 1906.

While everything I do in life is subject to change, I feel pretty confident that after many changes thus far this will hopefully reflect the final version on the contents to be included in Ghosthunting Oregon.  I am very excited about finishing this book and looking forward to the feedback from readers once it is done.  In the meantime, this is what you will be reading about.
