Historic Hood River
Celilo Falls?
9-30-2026
Notes
This Frank Patterson stereocard image may be from Celilo Falls circa 1910. What looks like ice is more likely rushing water. The rock formations in the distance are a reasonable match to another of his stereocards which is labeled “Celilo Falls”.
This same image appears in a wonderful photo essay entitled “Children of Celilo Village“.

Charlott would have given us a good history lesson on this area.
I talked to a lady just the other day, who grew up in Wishram. She said they watched from their school window, the procession up the hill to the burial of Chief Tommy Thompson.
