We heard it's #FossilFriday so we thought you'd like to feast your eyes on Oregon's State Fossil, the Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia). The fossils are at @JDFossilBedsNPS.
Once thought to be extinct, Dawn Redwoods are used for landscaping here. But wild stands are endangered.
Find this and all of Oregon's state symbols at the Oregon Blue Book: bluebook.oregon.gov

On September 22, we remember the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, a pivotal step toward freedom. President Lincoln’s courageous decree paved the way for the abolition of slavery in the U.S.

Found in the @OregonArchives, here's a photograph of people hop picking in September of 1905. The peak hop picking times in the Willamette Valley are between August and September. These will later become an important part of the beer making process. #TheMoreYouKnow #tbt

September 13 is #WorldKindnessDay. This reminded us of Fred Rogers of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. In 1982, Mr. Rogers was given an honorary degree from @LinfieldUniv. Here's a story about the event from @KOINNews.
