Mural honoring Caves step closer to reality
By LINDA
COREY-WOODWARD
For IVN
Wanda Burch Goines, an
accomplished artist, looked
around Cave Junction a few
years ago, dismayed by the
lack of visible signs or dis-
plays about Oregon Caves
National Monument.
Goines, who has a fine
arts degree from the Univer-
sity of Oregon at Eugene,
wondered why there was no
mural with the Caves on it in
town, as Cave Junction is
known as the Gateway to the
Oregon Caves.
The Burch Family
moved to a farm south of the
future town of Cave Junction
in 1936. Goines watched
Cave Junction emerge and
grow as she grew up. She said
that there is not enough to
dramatize the impetus for
Cave Junction’s existence, as
the monument is only 20
miles east.
Goines lamented, “So
many local people have never
been to the Caves, and it’s the
only national monument in
Southern Oregon.”
She envisioned a large
public mural of the Caves in
Cave Junction. She painted a
scene depicting Elijah David-
son and his dog entering the
side of a mountain in 1874,
pursuing a bear. This vignette
is on the left side of her pic-

ture. On the right side there
are modern visitors exiting
what became Oregon Caves
National Monument.
In-between, Goines used
natural rock formations, moss
and plants to show 160 hid-
den animal shapes. One can
spend hours staring at the
picture on laminated place-
mats, seeking all the animals.
Working with Illinois
River Valley Arts Council
(IRVAC) member Judy
Hoyle; and Lynn Johnson,
owner of Illinois Valley Real
Estate; Goines gained John-
son’s permission to place a
12-by-32-foot printed copy of
Chautauqua: ‘Becoming
Oregon’ set Aug. 2 in GP
Few people realize that
the United States almost went
to war with Britain regarding
Oregon.
Concerning that piece of
history, the Josephine County
Historical Society and Jose-
phine Community Libraries
Inc. are pleased to co-host an
Oregon Chautauqua program
from the Oregon Council for
the Humanities: In Becoming
Oregon: A Printed History.
This free, public program
will take place on Sunday,
Aug. 2, at 2 p.m. at the Grants
Pass Library, 200 N.W. C St.
In the program, Bob
Hamm will share primary
resources such as newspa-
pers, woodcuts, accurate and
inaccurate maps, and early
photographs. They range
from the Lewis and Clark
Expedition (1804-1806) to
the Lewis and Clark Exposi-
tion (1905) that illustrate Ore-
gon’s place in the national
imagination.
In the 1830s and ’40s,
the young country was pre-
pared to wage war on Great
Britain because of a disputed

the painting on the north side
of the real estate building.
Said Hoyle as she
beamed, “I just secured ap-
proval for placing the mural
there from the Oregon Dept.
of Transportation.”
All that remains is for the
community to help raise ap-
proximately $6,000 for the
print to be made and mounted
on the building. Goines,
Hoyle and a group of sup-
porters hope it can be done
this year, to celebrate the Ore-
gon Caves anniversary, as
well as those of the State of
Oregon and the Chateau at
the Caves.
They want people to look
closely at the finely detailed
Caves mural facing Taylor’s
Country Store patio, and to be
moved to visit the Caves and
adjacent attractions. Goines
wants residents to feel pride
in the mural and the town’s
connection to Oregon Caves.
An account for the
“Oregon Caves Mural Pro-
ject” is at Evergreen Federal
Bank in Cave Junction.
Checks for Goines’ laminated
placemats ($15 a pair) and
donations may be made out in
the project name. Placemats
will be available at various
Cave Junction businesses,
including Treehouse Florist &
Gifts, and the lodge and gift
shop at the monument.
IRVAC and other organi-
zations will hold fund-raisers
to help raise the money for
the sign this year. They will
ask businesses, individuals
and foundations for matching
grants to get the mural up
before year’s end.

Bank in Cave Junction.
