Dive a Century into the Past with Gwendolyn Trice
April 25 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Attend a fascinating evening with the founder and executive director of the Maxville Heritage Interpretive Center and the curator of the traveling Timber Culture exhibition, Gwendolyn Trice. During her presentation, Trice will breathe life into the ghost town of Maxville (1923-1933), a logging town that once existed 15 miles north of Wallowa, Oregon. Of about 400 residents, 60 of them were African American, including Trice’s father, Lafayette Trice, and younger brother, George Trice. Despite official segregation laws, the townspeople formed interracial friendships. Get an inside perspective on this fascinating piece of Oregon history with Gwendolyn Trice.
