Where Trails Meet - An Intergenerational Playspace

Funded by the Four Way Community Foundation, Janome USA, Pendleton Woolen Fabrics, and the Roundhouse Foundation this project brought the opportunity for young and old to learn or brush up on their sewing skills.  After completing the class, students return to the machines to donate a project to a deserving non-profit. 

We are excited to announce a campaign aimed at revitalizing the historic Applegate Trail Interpretive Kiosk, making it more engaging and accessible for visitors.  This project involved a complete refurbishment of the aging structure, a custom mural, and a solar push-button audio feature that will provide descriptions of life along the Applegate Trail, the history of the Grave Creek Covered Bridge, and the settlement of Sunny Valley.  Thank you to the Four Way Community Foundation for funding this project!

A BRIGHT NEW CENTURY 1920 ~ 2020

The anniversary of the Grave Creek Covered Bridge was commemorated with the installation of ambient lighting for safety and beauty.  Special thanks to the community, Four Way Community Foundation, Josephine County, and Friends of Country Living for this gift.
