Hillsboro, Oregon is home to the Hillsboro Pharmacy which was founded by pioneer hero Doctor F.A. Bailey in 1873. That is Francis Alonzo Bailey more formally. The Pharmacy moved over the decades but remains a force in the community as a central hub and is trying to come back from the Weils Fire of 2022 which damaged the Pharmacy building. Thanks to Mr Bob Herb for being a great owner and steward of the building and for his hard work to repair the building and make sure the Pharmacy can return!Anna Marsh Wells Of Hillsboro, Oregon found to be a woman of great historical importance!Dirk Knudsen2022-12-13 | Dirk Knudsen, Hillsboro and Washington County Historian, uncovers the story of Anna Marsh Wells who was one of the most important women in the history of Hillsboro, Oregon and the surrounding area!November 25, 2022Dirk Knudsen2022-11-25 | ...Wells Ridge Wildlife At Jackson Bottom Caught On CameraDirk Knudsen2022-10-18 | Located in the very middle of Hillsboro, Oregon this unique property includes 2 acres of wetlands, marshland, swamp, and about 2 acres of woodlands that rise up to meet the City.

No human life was lost, the building is lost. It was built over 100 years ago and has been one of the Mainstays of the historic downtown Hillsboro skyline. Businesses Lucia Isabell Collection (dress and gown shop) and Weichert Realty are among the businesses lost. Fire crews from Hillsboro, Cornelius, Banks, and Forest Grove, Oregon joined forces to put out the blaze which burned most of the day. The block on Main Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues will be closed for a while so the damage and soundness of the building can be evaluated. Hillsboro's historic Venetian Theater and Hillsboro Pharmacy, beloved icons, have survived this fire. The roof and mid-story floors collapsed. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Temperatures were in the mid 20s the night of the fire. Tune in to our story at the #HillsboroHerald for more info and updates. This is a sad day for all of us.

The tribe is unknown to most modern-day citizens of the Tualatin Valley yet their time here existed for tens of thousands of years until the late 1800's and 1900's. Here is a highly respected tribal linguist and teacher of Chinook Wawa, PhD Henry Zenk, properly saying the name and the various versions of the name. Henry Zenk has contributed to several books and manuscripts and has a listing at Oregon State University- all credit is given to Mr Zenk for this Video and its contents were authored by him.September 24, 2020Dirk Knudsen2020-09-24 | ...August 17, 2020Dirk Knudsen2020-08-18 | ...August 17, 2020Dirk Knudsen2020-08-17 | ...July 13, 2020Dirk Knudsen2020-07-14 | ...July 13, 2020Dirk Knudsen2020-07-13 | ...July 13, 2020Dirk Knudsen2020-07-13 | ...HIllsboro Discovery Center WelcomeDirk Knudsen2020-07-12 | A message about the Hillsboro Discovery Center - more to follow!Happy Memorial Day 2020 from Hillsboro, Oregon where the Wells & Nevling Men Are RememberedDirk Knudsen2020-05-26 | See a few minutes of Hillsboro History where I talk about June Wells Nevling, her Grandmother's connection to the Revolutionary War (Note I was wrong in the Video- here great-great Grandfather was a Captain in the Revolution). I also speak about the Wells boys, several of whom fought in wars, young June, and her meeting with Captain Gilbert Nevling of Pennsylvania. Later he became a Lieutenant Colonel. I researched the information some more and he was not in WW1 as he was a child during the Great War; bad info had been given to me. He was, however, a pilot in WWII and pilot and navigator in the Korean War where his Bomber unit accomplished 10,000 sorties! Gil as he was known, died in an P-80 Jet while flying from Langley AFB as a test pilot- he was a very trusted and accomplished pilot and he is credited with making evasive maneuvers to keep the jet form hitting people and houses and inflicting death! Gilbert is in Arlington National Cemetary and will be remembered!Hillsboro Historical Society COVID-19 History ProjectDirk Knudsen2020-05-13 | Hello, fellow greater Hillsboro, Oregon citizens!
