Like our trip all over the state of South Carolina to capture an image of every Post Office in the state, the one for Oregon will differ in a couple ways. 1) We are thinking that we aren’t going to chase every single one in the bigger towns, like for instance, Portland’s 2 dozen. And 2) Every single one of them may not have the same automobile in the photos, it might be a Miata or it might be a Mini Cooper.
Hillsboro to Marylhurst
Grass Valley - 97029
In 1870 the town's founder named such because of the tall rye grass growing there. “Grass so tall that it stood over a man’s head,” one early settler said, “even when he was on a horse!” (07/01/23)
Jacksonville - 97530
Jacksonville is a quaint, historic town just outside Medford. (10/03/21)
Keno - 97627
The Keno post office was established in 1887 and the town was supposedly named after the first postmaster's bird dog. (8/12/20)
Kent - 97033
Another near ghost town along US97 in northern Oregon. (07/01/23)
Klamath Falls - 97601
Had to drop something off at our local Post Office and because it was Sunday there was no one else around. (07/09/23)
La Pine - 97739
A year ago when we did this same 4th of July trip we tried to take a picture of this Post Office but it was so crowded we couldn't even get into the parking lot. (07/01/23)
Madras - 97741
When the original name was rejected by the U.S. Postal Service the name "Madras" was adopted, inspired by the cloth fabric of the same name, itself named for the city of Madras (now Chennai) in India. (07/06/22)
Malin - 97632
Malin's southern border butts up against the northern California state line. A quiet little farming town that has a fantastic small veteran's park. (06/21/20)
