Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, Fort Clatsop present In Their Footsteps: A Town Called Seaside. Gloria Linkey will share from her 2017 book, A Town Called Seaside, a decade-by-decade story of Seaside- from a summer resort town in the 1940s to the thriving tourist attraction and community it is today. Gloria will discuss pre-World War II days, when people walked the “Prom” in fine attire or watched Lone Ranger serials at one of Seaside’s two movie theaters. She will also demonstrate how the town has grown and improved with the help of many dedicated people and organizations. A Town Called Seaside will be available for purchase at this event. There will be a book-signing following her presentation.
