Good for you! Where did you get it? (I bet you didn't pay $400.) The one that went for that much at Christie's was pretty incredible thouh, wasn't it. Hope you enjoy the read.
Although there is a lot of information about the Hanleys, little has actually been published. Most of what has been written up exists in Southern Oregon Historical Society planning documents for the Hanley farm or training materials for farm tour gu…
There's been lots of research done on the Hanleys. What did you want to know?
I received a letter from SOHS the other day that I assume was sent to SOHS members and maybe others that explained decisions made at the last SOHS board meeting. The letter stated that "During the past several months, we hosted a series of town hall…
Bruce, If you haven't yet been to Hanley Farm, you must go. It is wonderful out there. I assume you have been to the SOHS museums in Jacksonville because that's a great place to start learning about the local history and would make a great field tri…

Paris, check out Jeff's book, "First Over the Siskiyous: Peter Skene Ogden's 1826-1827 Journey Through the Oregon-California Boarderlands" and you can read Ogdens journal description of the day they found the china bowl.
Jan is right, of course, the oldest items are Native American 10-11,000 years old. As for items brought in by Euro-American pioneers, when they began arriving in the early 1850s, they brought some family heirlooms with them that were old then. The d…
