In 2009, this Paul Bunyan Statue joined the registry for an historic places. Built in 1959, it was built to welcome the people coming into Portland for the Oregon Centennial Exposition and International Trade Fair. This Paul Bunyan 31' statue now sits on the corner of N. Denver Ave. and N. Interstate Ave. in Historic Kenton and fits Oregon's timber industry well.
One of the fun things about doing this weekly series is that I also learn so much about places I've never seen as well..and love that I get cool info from YOU. We just happen to be looking for a Chase bank ATM and our navigation system took us right through Kenton and passed this cool statue. Of course I whipped out my camera and tried to get this picture knowing I would use it for a WIIW.
