Come meet the new Executive Director of the Vista House. Alisha Hamel will be sharing the latest on the Vista House on Crown Point. If you have never been to the Vista House, it is a must see when visiting the Gorge.
Alisha Hamel is the new Executive Director of the Friends of Vista House. She was the Director of the U.S. Army Transportation Museum at Fort Eustis in Virginia, but is a 4th generation Oregonian so was thrilled to return to Oregon to work for the Friends of Vista House. Vista House at Crown Point in the Columbia River Gorge was built to house a comfort station for travelers on the new Columbia River Highway. It was “intended to be the finishing achievement for the greatest highway in America” and to “grace the highest spot on that wonderway”. Alisha will tell the story of Vista House and how volunteers are so necessary to keep it open. If you want to be one of those volunteers come and join us.
We will be at the Fairview Food Plaza for this event!
