McKenzie Memories. What was life like along the majestic McKenzie River in the early 1900s? The McKenzie River Trust is inviting people to McKenzie Memories: an evening of storytelling, music, and rare historic short films and photographs. See footage of early settlers and old-time logging, including dramatic river log drives down the McKenzie, and hear special guest speakers share stories of the Whitewater Boat Parade, the history of the iconic McKenzie Drift Boat, and more.
