Part of View the Future’s mission is to preserve, protect, and enhance understanding of our cultural and historical heritage for the benefit of the Yachats community and its future generations.
Throughout the years we have researched and developed historical accounts, created documents and interpretive signage, and provided presentations for local residents and visitors to build awareness, understanding, and appreciation for our local heritage.
“View the Past” is another avenue to promote learning about our local history. Descriptions and photos of local historical and cultural items are listed.
Items available on the View the Past page at this time include:
- The Yachats Indians, Origin of the Yachats Name and the Prison Camp Years (2010)
- The Amanda Trail Story, A Solemn, and Spiritual Path (2010, revised 2016 & 2020)
