This photo from the Highway Department’s archive shows some young tourists enjoying a sunny day in their convertible with Mt. Hood in the background.
After the Second World War ended, the State of Oregon experienced a tourism boom. State parks were full, Highway 99 was busy and during the Centennial of our statehood and colorful festivals were visited in cities throughout Oregon.
This picture is one of many in our Archives Division’s web exhibit on the State of Oregon during and after the second world war, called ‘Life on the Home Front: Oregon Responds to World War II’.
October has been Archives Month. We hope that you got a chance to explore the Archives Division’s wealth of online and offline resources.
