Description
The Western Forestry Center, a non-profit educational institution which would include a forestry museum in Washington Park. With financial support from the timber industry, the educational community and many others, the museum and auditorium building (Cheatham Hall) opened on June 5, 1971. A land donation in 1978 gave us the Magness Memorial Tree Farm as our demonstration forest. Miller Hall was added in 1980, and with board support for a more international focus the name was changed to the World Forestry Center in 1986. The addition of Merlo Hall to house the World Forest Institute in 1989 completed the 5.2 acre campus in Portland.
