HISTORY TALK: Jan 29, 2025
HISTORY TALK: Jan 29, 2025
On January 29 @ 7pm the Historical Society will present another talk in our series of “History Connections”. Our topic will be the Watts & Price store.
Our venue will be St Wenceslaus Catholic Church 51555 Old Portland Rd Scappoose.
The Watts & Price Store was a fixture in Scappoose for many decades in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Not only did it provide all manner of goods needed for home and farm, but it was also the center of community activity. This presentation will share the story of the store and owners, Mr. Watts and Mr. Price.
