Mary Ann Burrows to marshal
Wallowa Fourth of July Parade
Back at Our town” published
by Mark Highberger’s Bear
Creek Press.
In 2003 the fl edgling His-
tory Center nested in a build-
ing on Main Street in Wal-
lowa, where preserving the
town’s history continued as
their principal mission.
When the City of Wallowa
acquired the historic U.S.
Forest Service compound at
the west end of town, they
deemed the history center to
be the best and most appro-
priate residents.
Burrows is thrilled with
the opportunity to work on
this project. “I was only
about 2 years old when the
CCC started building it,” she
said. “So I don’t remember
too much about everything
that was going on. I wish
my older brother and sister
were still alive—they would
remember so much more
about what was happening
then. But what a wonderful
thing to be here now, right
where I was born.”
Being the Grand Mar-
shal of Wallowa’s 4th of July
Parade is an honor that Bur-
rows relishes. “I was a little
nervous at fi rst, she said. “But
now I think I’ll just really sit
back and enjoy it.” She has
been practicing her wave.
“There aren’t many com-
munities that have a 4th of
July parade,” she said. “The
Parade really brings the com-
munity together. It celebrates
this great nation of ours and
all it stands for.” If you want
to meet Burrows before or
after the parade, she’ll be at
the History Center, leading
tours and telling stories about
the long history of the com-
munity that she loves.
Founder, director
of the Wallowa
History Center
Ellen Morris Bishop
Mary Ann Burrows loves
history, especially the his-
tory of Wallowa, her home
town. The energetic direc-
tor of the Wallowa History
Center was born in 1933, in
a house just across the fence
from the Center’s new digs
in the historic Forest Service
compound.
“We had a dairy farm right
there,” Burrows said. The
farm included a barn, silo,
and milk house. “We deliv-
ered milk around town, and
my father really loved his-
tory. He told stories, and also
listened to stories as we went
around the route each day.”
Burrows graduated from Wal-
lowa High School in 1951.
By then, she was hooked on
history. “I was set to major in
history in college,” she said.
“But I got married two years
into my education. Then, ele-
mentary education seemed
more practical.”
In 1991, after a 26-year
career in teaching elemen-
tary school and reading in
Ontario, Oregon schools,
Burrows retired. She headed
home. “I felt I could serve
Wallowa best by preserving
the community’s history,”
she said.
Burrows comes from pio-
neer stock. Her maternal
great-grandmother journeyed
to Wallowa County from
Iowa via a wagon train on the
Oregon Trail. Her paternal
great-grandparents farmed
the Bartlett Bench above

Mary Ann Burrows is the founder and director of the Wallowa
History Center and also the Wallowa 4th of July Parade’s
Grand Marshal.
Troy, then moved into Wal-
lowa. Her great-grandfather
Rod McCrae ran the Hotel
McCrae and also served as
Mayor of Wallowa about
1906.
While going through her
family photographs and doc-
uments, Burrows began to
realize that without a place
to keep all those documents,
they could be lost to history.
As a member of the Wal-
lowa City Library board, she
convinced her fellow board
members that Wallowa’s his-
tory should be preserved.
They found a secure loca-
tion in the library basement
and began to archive historic
photos and documents while
they toyed with the idea of
forming some sort of histo-
ry-based organization.
That project soon grew
into a 501c3 non-profi t, the
Wallowa History Center,
established in 2002. With
a $5000 grant, the base-
ment-dwelling center pur-
chased a scanner, com-
puter, and a computer desk,
and began to convert his-
toric photos into digital for-
mat. “We got some students
involved, too, to help scan.
But back then, we didn’t
know much about computer
fi les and photos, and so the
images got scanned at only
100 dpi,” she said. Still, the
images were good enough
for reproduction in the cen-
ter’s fi rst book: “Looking
Wallowa High School hires two
‘new’ teachers from Enterprise
education?
“I’ve always had a heart
for kids who fi nd school dif-
fi cult,” Knifong said. “ It’s
an opportunity to help them
fi nd their gifts and the things
they excel at.” In special
education, Knifong noted,
she will be helping her stu-
dents navigate their work
in regular classes. She’ll be
working with both the stu-
dents and their teachers to
ensure that the kids involved
in special education have
exceptional learning oppor-
tunities. She will also teach
Spanish—her minor in col-
lege. And as a bonus, both
her sons will transfer from
the Enterprise schools to
Wallowa.
“I’m excited for the direc-
tion the school is moving,”
Knifong said. “They have a
lot of new ideas. They rec-
ognize that kids have dif-
ferent learning styles and
needs. It seems like all these
doors are opening and I’m
just meant to be down in
Wallowa.”
At the school board
meeting that unanimously
approved both new hires,
Wallowa Principal David
Howe praised both teachers.
“Cam Scott is a dedicated
and creative teacher who
has demonstrated his abil-
ity to inspire students across
a range of grades,” he said.
“Colby Knifong has great
capacity to bring out the best
in all the students she works
with. We are very lucky to
have them.”
By Ellen Morris Bishop
Wallowa County Chieftain
Cameron Scott and Colby
Knifong are both deeply
committed and talented edu-
cators. Scott has directed
Fishtrap’s Youth program,
including Story Lab --since
2018. Knifong has taught
elementary grades in Enter-
prise for more than 15 years.
But in the fall, both will start
new careers as teachers in
the Wallowa school system.
Scott will guide middle
school and high school stu-
dents through the intrica-
cies of English, including
Composition,
Literature,
and Advanced Placement.
Knifong will take the reins
and responsibility of the
7th-12th grade Special Edu-
cation program. As a bonus,
she’ll also teach Spanish
part–time.
Although Scott brings a
Masters of Fine Arts, with
specialty in poetry, to fully
qualify as a high school
English teacher, he’ll have
to earn a third degree, a
Master of Arts in Teaching
(MAT), which he plans to
do through Eastern Oregon
University. The school dis-
trict has arranged a tempo-
rary teaching credential for
him, based upon his knowl-
edge and experience, until
he can complete the MAT.
Scott’s work with Fish-
trap’s Story Lab brought
him to Wallowa classrooms
on many occasions. As he
got to know teachers, fami-

High School in the fall.
lies, and the community, he
knew that Wallowa was a
place he could settle down.
“Wallowa is a very strong,
vibrant community,” he said.
“Wallowa is a great place to
call home.”
The school district’s sup-
port of teamwork among
teachers, and attention to
all learning styles—from
hands-on welding to more
conventional
academ-
ics--also attracted Scott to
the school.
But of course, Cam
Scott’s fi rst love is writ-
ing, and more specifi cally,
teaching writing. “You don’t
inspire someone to sail by
handing them a hammer and
a bunch of nails and pieces
of wood and teaching them
to build a ship. You have to
awaken a love of the sea and
exploration and then they
have purpose in building it. I
feel that way about writing.
Students will be much more
interested in writing stories
when the subject is some-
thing they know and love.”
Like Scott, Enterprise
Elementary School teacher
Colby Knifong will be mov-
ing to Wallowa to teach Spe-
cial Education because she
considers it a very vibrant
educational setting. In 2008,
Knifong taught 4th grade and
alternative education classes
in Wallowa. But it was the
opportunity to assist with the
girl’s basketball team that
hooked her on returning as
a permanent staffer. “It was
a joy to watch those girls
improve and become a team.
They grew from having no
self-confi dence to believing
in themselves. David Howe
did a great job coaching and
teaching them.”
Why would a teacher
who devoted most of her
24-year career to upper ele-
mentary grades suddenly
shift into high school special
