Looking Down on Sucker Creek

In 1847, Albert Alonzo Durham built a sawmill on Sucker Creek,

Oswego Lake's outlet to the Willamette River.

In 1850, Albert made the first Donation Land Claim

in the area, which he named Oswego after Oswego, New York.

I am standing on the foot bridge that passes over the

creek . The foot bridge leads to trails that go up the creek

and also to the nearby city of West Linn.
