In the late 1800’s, the Columbia River fish canning industry was one of the most valuable in the world. This program, presented by Julie Triezenberg of the Columbia River Maritime Museum, discusses the history of the canneries, their impact on local communities, and the legacy they left behind after their closure.

This event is supported by a Mini Grant for Rural Libraries from Oregon Humanities.
