<p class="MsoNormal">OCHC commissioner, Charlotte Lehan, will also offer a tour of historic Pleasant View Cemetery, 14250 SW Westfall Road in Sherwood, on October 21 at 9:30 a.m. The earliest recorded burial is 1856, but burials likely date back into the 1840$B!G(Bs.
Residents include several early captains of the steamboats on the Willamette and Columbia. The cemetery is maintained by a non-profit association and has undergone extensive renovation efforts in the last decade. It is an active cemetery with headstones of
every vintage. Most are granite and historic marble, plus a rather impressive zinc monument. There are approximately 3,000 burials.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Following the tour, at 10:30 a.m. OCHC commissioner, Shawn Steinmetz, an archaeologist working for Hoyo, a cultural resources advocacy nonprofit organization, will be leading a
discussion of general ground penetrating radar (GPR) concepts and its use in historic cemeteries. A demonstration of how GPR projects are laid out and data are collected in a cemetery setting. There will be an opportunity for participants to do GPR data
collection during the demonstration. We will discuss outcomes of typical GPR surveys so cemetery managers can better understand if a GPR survey will meet their management goals.<o:p></o:p></p>
