What is Oregon's first state park
Oregon’s very first state park—a modest greenspace on the banks of the Luckiamute River near Monmouth—has been accepted into the National Register of Historic Places.
Sarah Helmick State Recreation Site is named after the woman who donated 5.46 acres of her family homestead to the Oregon State Highway Commission in 1922 so that weary travelers would have a place to rest. Over the next 60 years, other landowners donated adjacent parcels, helping the site grow to 81.72 acres, about 15 of which are open to visitors.
