Harlow House Park

This home was built in 1900 on what was known as the Harlow Farm by Fred Harlow, son of Captain John Harlow, Troutdale's founder. The house is relatively unchanged from the day it was built. The City purchased the house and grounds in 1979. It sold the house to the Troutdale Historical Society for use as a museum, but retained the grounds as a public park. The Harlow House has been named to the National Register of Historic Places.
