The Oregon Centennial was the 100th anniversary of the U.S. State of Oregon . Festivities where held throughout the state. The major attractions were at the Oregon Centennial Exposition in the Kenton neighborhood of Portland . Some of the festivities included a play, a Musical , parades, a new centennial train at the zoo, etc. Local communities created monuments to celebrate the anniversary, notably a Totem Pole was especially constructed for the event, as well as a huge Paul Bunyan statue. Many communities had to raise money to finance their celebration plans. One method used to raise funds was the sale of Oregon Centennial Tokens . Many private companies also created Centennial items for sale. SEE ALSO |
