The Reel Lake Oswego: A Film Legacy
The Reel Lake Oswego: Clown Diver to Sky Divers
A Documentary Film
The Lake Oswego Preservation Society presents: The Reel Lake Oswego. You’ll see early water sports such as aquaplaning, a 1930s equestrian event at the Lake Oswego Hunt, the City’s 1947 Rose Parade float, dining at Irelands on the lake, golfing at the Oswego Lake Country Club in the 1930s and 1950s, the Boones Ferry Day Parade in the 1960s, and even a shark infested Oswego Lake!
This film was made possible by those who generously shared their home movies, some dating back to 1924! We are also grateful to the Oregon Historical Society for contributing footage from their collection. From these never-seen-before sources, the Society has created a visually compelling narrated film that brings to life scenes of Oswego, Lake Grove, Oswego Lake, and community events from the 1920s through the 1960s. Lake Oswego’s special legacy will live on — in motion picture — for generations.
The award-winning Kate McMahon Productions is the film’s producer. A $4,000 Clackamas County Community Partnership Program grant, along with our generous sponsors, has enabled us to offer free admission.
