Geocache Description:

Nice river access. Very historic area. This ferry died many years ago.

Butteville is located about nine miles south of Oregon City and was staked out about 1845 by George Abernethy & Alanson Beers. In 1895 it had 4 stores, 4 warehouses, blacksmiths, 3 saloons, and a ferry across the Willamette River. Two steamboats called daily; it was an important trade center & shipping point until near the turn of the centry. In October 1954, the ferry landing was no longer in use and the town was nearly a ghost town.

This is public river access. There is no need to go on any private property to get to the cache so please respect the private property of others. Signs clearly mark where the private property lines are. It is OK to park at the store while hunting the cache.
