Pioneer Ezra Meeker is remembered as the town's founder, but also for his early business success in the hop industry and his commemoration of the Lewis and Clark expedition. During his life he was an active philanthropist. He donated Pioneer Square to the city, which became the site of the city's original Carnegie public library in 1912 - 1913. |
