Pioneer Furtrader - Klamath Falls, OR - Oregon Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

The Pioneer Furtrader Historical Marker was commemorated on October 12, 1963 by the Klamath Chapter Oregon State Society of the National Society Daughters of the American Colonists. The marker is hidden almost completely out of sight if you're past, by surrounding trees and bushes, but can still be seen from the street if you're walking by.
