Portland Oregon, Jefferson Davis Park:

On August 30, SCV Camp 458 in Portland, Oregon, purchased the piece of land that will be the future home of the Jefferson Davis Park! The marker will be placed in the park, along with a large historical plaque and a 60-foot flagpole flying the Confederate Battleflag! But, we cannot complete this project without your help. Right now all we have is a plot of raw land. We need additional funds to transform this land into a park worthy of Jefferson Davis!

You can help by purchasing a brick or by making a donation to the park. The bricks, with your name, your Camp's name, or your ancestor's name engraved on them, will form a plaza around the flagpole and marker. You can get more information on this project, the history of our long fight for the marker, the ties Jefferson Davis has to the Pacific-Northwest, and an order form for the memorial bricks, on our website at www.jeffersondavispark.org.
