FreeIn Their Footsteps Lecture Series: Calvin Tibbets – Oregon’s First Pioneer
Event Navigation
Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, Fort Clatsop, is pleased to announce the next In Their Footsteps free speaker series event. On Sunday, January 15, at 1:00pm Jerry Sutherland will talk about Calvin Tibbets and Solomon Smith, the first American settlers on Clatsop Plains.
During his talk, Sutherland will focus on Tibbets’ years on Clatsop Plains and his friendship with Solomon Smith, who married Celiast, the daughter of Clatsop Chief Coboway, and whose son Silas Smith helped identify the site of Fort Clatsop in 1899.
This monthly Sunday forum is sponsored by the Lewis & Clark National Park Association and the park. These programs are held in the Netul River Room of Fort Clatsop’s visitor center and are free of charge.
