The
Port Orford Lifeboat Station (Coast Guard Station #318) was constructed
in 1934 by the U.S. Coast Guard to provide lifesaving service to the southern
portion of the Oregon coast, a service performed until 1970. The
Point
Orford Heritage Society, working with the Oregon Parks and Recreation
Department, has established a museum on this historic site. The park has
excellent hiking trails on the headlands affording spectacular views up
and down the Pacific Coast. |
