Willamette Stone State Heritage Site [OR]

Description

Every bit of Oregon is divided into a grid. At several places across the nation, the government established a land survey starting point (called a meridian) and drew the grid lines from there. The Williamette Stone is the starting point for all the land surveying west of the Cascade Mountains in both Oregon and Washington. It's the "zero point" for the Willamette Meridian. After a short walk down a hill in the park, visitors can see, touch, and read about this important marker.

The site is open to the public.

Website does not specify any interpretive services, beyond signage, available at the site.
