ASTORIA — Lewis and
Clark National Historical
Park, Fort Clatsop will hold
the next In Their Footsteps
free speaker series event at
1 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 17. The
program is “The Towns that
Became Today’s Warrenton”
by Susan L. Glen.
Warrenton was incor-
porated in February 1899,
and is a city comprised of
many earlier towns and vil-
lages. These include Ski-
panon, Flavel, Hammond
and Fort Stevens, as well as
Lexington, which was the
first county seat for Clatsop
County until 1879 when it
moved to Astoria.
This
illustrated
talk
shares some history of each
of these towns as they grew
and became the present city
of Warrenton.
Glen has compiled pho-
tos and written text for five
books in Arcardia Publish-
ing’s Images of America
series including “Warren-
ton-Hammond.” Her other ti-
tles are “Governors Island,”
“Seaside: 1920-1950,” “Fort
Stevens” and “USCG Air
Station and Group Astoria.”
Each of these books features
more than 200 vintage imag-

Glen has had relatives in
the area since the 1800s. In
November 1847, one relative
by marriage had the original
donation land claim that be-
came the town of Hammond.
Glen came to Warrenton in
1976. She is a former school
teacher, loves history and is
very active with the Daugh-
ters of the American Revo-
lution and several historical
and genealogical societies in-
cluding the Warrenton-Ham-
mond Historical Society.
Her
“Warrenton-Ham-
mond” book will be available
for purchase in the Lewis &
Clark National Park Associ-
ation bookstore in the visitor
center during this event, and
she will have a book-signing
after her talk.
This monthly Sunday
forum is sponsored by the
Lewis & Clark National Park
Association and the park.
These programs are held in
the Netul River Room of
Fort Clatsop’s visitor center
and are free of charge. For
more information, call the
park at 503-861-2471.
