Historic Hood River
Watermelon Days

Notes
Watermelon in the woods screams summertime. We don’t dress so formally and our watermelons don’t have seeds anymore, but not much else has changed. This is an Ella May Davidson image, circa 1912.

Immediately recognizable as an Ella May Davidson photo.
I am wondering what the pan on the ground is for?
I have a relative who lives in Hermiston, so lucky me. I get some of the best watermelon.

Wow, what year did metal roofs start? I’d assume this is a very early one?
