Oral History of Kellogg Lake |
The City of Milwaukie is proud to announce the completion of a project which
attempts to capture the people’s history of Kellogg Lake. The Oral History of
Kellogg Lake uses background research and interviews with long-time Milwaukie
residents to tell the story of the Lake and the role it played in the lives of
some residents. The document tracks the Lake’s evolution; from early settlement
when it was originally dammed to provide power to the Old Standard Mill, through
the first half of the 20th century when it was a cherished skating pond and a
place where children still dared to swim, to the last 60 years of it’s steady
decline and the ongoing citizen efforts to maintain its scenic integrity and
habitat.
The entire report can be read here; Oral History of Kellogg Lake or can be found
at the Milwaukie Museum/Historical Society and the Ledding Library.
To add your memories of Kellogg Lake, obtain a hard copy of the final report, or
