A New Home for a Cultural Center and Museum? (taken from article
written by V. Kohler, The Oregonian)
The Government Camp Historical Society has identified the Mt. Hood
Manor in Government Camp, Mt. Hood, OR is a possible location for a
cultural center and museum. For the past few months, the Society has
been working with Clackamas County Commissioners in determining the
financing of such the project. Mary Swanson Duncan, owner of the
Mt. Hood Manor is retiring and selling the 9,800 sq. ft. two story
building. The Cultural Center and Museum will have class rooms,
multi-purpose rooms, as well as displays about the history and
development of Mt. Hood.
