Columbia Gorge Discovery Center hosts
March 13 talk on famed Umatilla House in The Dalles
Historian Susan Buce will
speak on The Dalles’ Umatilla
House on March 13 at Colum-
bia Gorge Discovery Center
and Museum, 5000 Discovery
Drive, The Dalles.
During the days when Dalles
City was a bustling new town
in the Wild West, the Umatilla
House was the best known
landmark in the Columbia
River Gorge, said a press re-
lease.
Known as the most famous
hotel north of San Francisco
and west of Minneapolis, the
Umatilla House was a popular
meeting place for folks both
famous and infamous. With
the railroad at the front door
and the steamboat dock at the
back, the Umatilla House was a
welcome sight for travelers, far
and wide.
“The proprietors, Nicholas
Sinnott and Daniel Handley,
were a pair of Irish immigrants
who kept the hotel going re-
gardless of fires and floods,
serving up to 1,500 meals a
day, and 300 guests a night,”
said a press release. “Gone but
not forgotten, learn why the
Umatilla House still holds a
special place in the history of
The Dalles.”
Tickets for the 6 p.m. dinner
and program are $19; the 7
p.m. program only is $5.
Buce is self-taught historian
who loves history of the early
years of The Dalles and the
people who made their mark
in the history of the Columbia
Gorge. Now as the registrar at
the Discovery Center, she has a
unique chance to explore local
history in depth.
The evening’s dinner of
apple cider and caramelized
onion braised beef and trim-
mings is offered by Rooted in
the Gorge, which is now open
in the Columbia Gorge Discov-
ery Center. For details and tick-
ets, visit www.gorgediscovery.
