The Multnomah County Poor Farm (built 1911) in Troutdale, Oregon,
Deep in the heart of Troutdale was an early 1900’s farm that housed the homeless, sick, poor, and unfortunate. It was a place for those desperate to come and stay in exchange for work. Legend has it, many died while working the farm, and the place had a continual flow of people. In 1990, the Portland chain McMenamins built a hotel, brewery, and venue atop the property and have had claims of strange happenings ever since. Room 215 is claimed to be the most haunted room on the property. The front desk has a log of strange happenings at the property. www.mcmenamins.com
