The Wineland Family Visits the New Cascade Falls

More Photos
In 1936, the Roy Wineland family, along with a few other relatives and friends visited the new Cascade Falls. Roy Wineland photographed his father William, brother Bill, son Walter, Aunt Esther and Uncle John Jones and a friend. After the family portrait of the family was taken, the group ascended the stairs to the top of the falls to photograph the panorama of the Sparks Foundation Park and in the distance, one can see the main walkway from Kibby Road to the Falls. Another photo was taken of the group about half way down the north stairs of the Falls.
Teenage Walk

As teenagers, a bunch of us used to walk to the Cascades and climb the steps located on each side of the falls only to get sprayed big time.
It really makes me homesick for Jackson.

Despite fundraising being in the "quiet phase," many donors have stepped up to help, said Nick Palazzetti, director of the "Revive the Pride" fund-raising campaign.
