This Pioneer Park and Blockhouse honors General Joel Palmer, Superintendant of Indian Affairs for the Oregon Territory from 1853 to 1857. Appointed by President Franklin Pierce. Frontiersman, author, legislator and friend of the Indian. His journal, "Travels Over the Rocky Mountains", published in 1847, was used as a guide by the immigrants to Oregon. This pioneer leader dedicated this publication to "the pioneers of the West and their descendants, the bone and muscle of the community, who improve and enrich the county in peace and protect and defend it in war." In his words, this memorial is presented to the Town of Dayton by Omar C. Palmer and dedicated by Thomas McCall, Governor of Oregon, this 25th day of July 1971.
