== Points of interest == ===Museums and historic buildings=== [[File:Oregon City Municipal Elevator.jpg|upright|thumb|[[Oregon City Municipal Elevator|Municipal Elevator]] in Oregon City]] Museums include the Museum of the Oregon Territory and the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center, with costumed "living history" guides. The Clackamas County Historical Society archives, housed in the Museum of the Oregon Territory, also include the incorporation [[plat]] for the city of [[San Francisco]]. Clackamas Heritage Partners owns and operates these museums, along with the Stevens Crawford Museum. In 2009, Clackamas Heritage Partners announced that it could no longer afford to keep the museums open. The End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center was closed to the public indefinitely in September 2009; the Stevens Crawford Museum and Museum of the Oregon Territory, staffed largely by volunteers, continued to operate on a limited schedule.<ref>{{cite news |last=Graham |first=Matthew |url=http://thetribonline.com/news/story.php?story_id=125062467268885900 |title=Iconic Oregon City museum closing again |date=August 18, 2009 |newspaper=The Oregon City News |access-date=March 28, 2013 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130411233547/http://thetribonline.com/news/story.php?story_id=125062467268885900 |archive-date=April 11, 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center eventually reopened during the summer of 2013 with the support of grants and donations from numerous sources.<ref>{{cite news |last=Rendleman |first=Raymond |title=Reporter |url=http://www.pamplinmedia.com/cr/24-news/158939-end-of-oregon-trail-center-reopens |access-date=January 16, 2014 |newspaper=Clackamas Review |date=August 14, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150101222216/http://www.pamplinmedia.com/cr/24-news/158939-end-of-oregon-trail-center-reopens |archive-date=January 1, 2015 |url-status=live }}</ref> The Stevens-Crawford Heritage House Museum is a 1908 structure with 11 furnished rooms; exhibiting furniture from the collection of the Clackamas County Historical Society to replicate an Edwardian era home and Progressive Era narrative.
