"Nice spot with plenty of shade and picnic tables by the river to get out and stretch your legs on a long drive. The “museum”/exhibits are in need of some TLC a couple times a year as they are hidden behind cobwebs and murky plexiglass. Please enjoy this photo of the mannequin; we sure did."
"The designation as a "National Historic Site" along the Oregon Trail is an embarassment to the National Parks System as well as the city of Echo. The blockhouse is in disrepair and appears unsafe with wooden supports holding it upright, weeds are overgrown and the historical markers difficult to access. Very disappointing and not worth the time to stop nor the NHS designation."
"Hilarious. My favorite part was the "museum" that you looked at stuff through old windows and pushed a button to hear a recording. The mannequin in the firefighter outfit had cobwebs all over his face. We got a good laugh. As my husband says, "Nothing says fun like free!""
"While driving westbound on I-84 along the Columbia River Gorge, I noticed a freeway sign indicating City of Echo National Historic Site. So I decided to check it out. Past the freeway sign, there are no additional markers within the city of Echo to lead one to a historic site. On my third road/direction through a very small town, I did discover "Fort Henrietta" near the Umatilla River bridge. Currently built on the opposite bank of the river where the original Fort was located, a replica blockhouse stands. According to information posted near the blockhouse, this replica was built in 1985 on Fort Henrietta's 100 year anniversary. Fort Henrietta was established along the Oregon Trail, located near the Lower Crossing of the Umatilla River. Historically, it was built as a fortified stockade for the Oregon Mounted Volunteers in 1855. By 1856, it was ordered adandoned and destroyed. One of its two blockhouses reportedly survived, used by settlers as a meeting place. Honestly, I don't know if this replica blockhouse is the City of Echo National Historic Site. If it is, it is sadly in complete disrepair. Multiple 2x4's are propping up the structure. Nearby signs only reference the Oregon Trail. And although freeway signs usually brings a visitor to a dedicated location, I left Echo confused. Maybe the town could please help visitors discover its history a little easier."
