During the recent high water
and flood scare near Dry
Creek, were of an old sunken
ferry, were washed up. The
ferry was one used years ago to
cross the Deschutes River. The
Ferry built and operated by
J o h n C a m p b e ll, w h ere
travelers crossed to the area of
Venora, Oregon, one time a
railroad station on the east side
of the river.
The beams washed into the
head of the arm leading to the
water pump at the Water
Treatment Plant in Dry Creek,
diverting water away causing a
water shortage in the pumping
area.
The discovery was made
when the excavation crew went
in to remove the debris from
the area. Upon recognizing the
discovery care was taken to
remove the beams which are
worn and weather beaten from
th e years of subm erged
idleness.
The beams were removed
intac t and will be preserved for
future view at the museum or
another location.
