History

If you enjoy history, you will be in heaven here at WalkAshland.com. You will encounter – through historic photos and my research – the people who founded Ashland in 1852, then see how the town developed. Diving deeper into Rogue Valley history, you will learn about the Shasta and Takelma Native Americans who lived in this area for countless generations before the coming of American settlers.

My photo essays about neighborhoods, houses, art, parks and schools all introduce you to historic Ashland people, trends and events.
