April History Pug

Description

Singing Creek Education Center Director, Karen Rainsong will be presenting the story of how when the Applegate family moved to Yoncalla, Ore., in 1848, they made friends with Chief Halotish, or Halo, leader of the regional Kalapuya tribe. He and his family helped the Applegates farm and cared for their livestock. The long-term relationship between the Halo and Applegate descendants is honored in works of art, cultural projects, and events. Halo’s name is preserved at the sacred Halo Rock, near the site of the original indigenous Yoncalla village, and in Halo Creek in Lane County. The Applegate Farm is honored as a "Century Farm" and still a meeting place of the two cultures. As usual there will be Trivia, 50/50 raffle, Fun, fellowship, and an informative talk all with the ambiance of the Axe and Fiddle. History Pubs are sponsored and presented by Cottage Grove Partners in History
