Scope and content
Photograph showing President Warren G. Harding (center), reaching over the rail of his train car to shake hands with an unidentified man after arriving in Meacham, Oregon, on July 3, 1923. Oregon Governor Walter M. Pierce is standing behind President Harding, and First Lady Florence Harding is on the left. The Hardings’ visit was part of a trip across the nation, which included a stop in Meacham to participate in events commemorating the anniversary of the first wagon train crossing of the Blue Mountains. The commemoration included an address by the president, the dedication of the old Oregon Trail, and a pageant depicting people and events in the history of whites’ arrival and settlement. The Oregon Journal published a story about the Meacham visit, headlined “President Dedicates Oregon Trail in Midst of Colorful Setting,” on the front page of the July 3, 1923 edition.
