History of Wilsonville

The following video, “From Boone to Boom Town: The History of Wilsonville” by Mick Scott, was filmed on Tuesday, April 28, 2015 at Wilsonville History Night, McMenamins Old Church & Pub. The event was Co-Sponsored by the Wilsonville Public Library, Wilsonville-Boones Ferry Historical Society and McMenamins.

The history of Wilsonville is best seen through the pictures you'll see below.  These are all part of the Emery and Alice Aden Digital Image Collection made available from the Wilsonville-Boones Ferry Historical Society's photographic collection. Generous donations helped support this project, including a substantial gift from the Aden family of time, work and funds. This project was coordinated by the Wilsonville-Boones Ferry Historical Society and the Wilsonville Public Library.
