At the next stop at the Historic\u00a0Pioneer Cemetery, located in Salem, OR, we viewed of a commemorative heritage marker honoring 43 African American pioneers buried in the cemetery. The site&#8217;s special guest was professional storyteller<a title=\"Chetter Galloway\" href=\"http:\/\/chettergalloway.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"> Chetter Galloway<\/a>\u00a0who brought to life black pioneers featured on the tour. Our next stop was at the Historic Mount Union Cemetery located in Philomath. It is the resting place of several Black pioneers including Reuben Shipley. On May 11, 1861 Reuben and Mary Jane Holmes Shipley, former Black slaves, deeded the original plot for this cemetery. We then traveled back north to the early settlement home of Hannah and Eliza Gorman, a mother and daughter that came to Oregon via the Oregon Trail in 1844 and purchased a home in Corvallis, OR in 1857. On the way towards our next stop at Hillsboro,\u00a0Bob Zybach, historian and author, shared the story of\u00a0David (Irish-born) and Leticia Carson (African American), an interracial couple that settled in Soap Creek Valley located north of Corvallis. Once in the Hillsboro area, we traveled specifically to Helvetia, Oregon to the home of the Floyd and Annie Cash who settled there in 1890. We visited the Helevetia Church to the grave sites of Annie and Maragereth Cash. Ginny Mapes, Helvetia native shared her knowledge and research of a Black family that lived among the German Swedish immigrants. We ended the tour at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abbeycreekvineyard.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Abbey Creek Vineyard<\/a>\u00a0located in the historic downtown of North Plains, Oregon.
