The William Goodrich Farm, founded in 1848

2009 Sesquicentennial Award Family  (more info)

William's family traveled the Oregon Trail with the Barlow wagon train in 1845. As the wagons became mired in snow in the mountain passes, personal belongings were abandoned, and the family members walked the rest of the way to Oregon City. Owned by Donald C. Goodrich and Eunice M. Goodrich, the farm is located in Yamhill County. One hundred and sixteen acres remain today, and produce grass seed, corn, beans, and beet and clover seed.
