For years, a lumber town, set deep in Oregon's coastal range.
Like so many other logging towns of it's time, it grew from humble roots to hold a special place in the hearts of all who lived there.
For the children who lived there, life was idyllic, playing with friends and neighbors in the safety of the forest. For the adults, the old growth forests provided bounteous wood for the town's mill, meaning steady, well paid work.
But unlike its contemporaries, Valsetz was a company town, leaving it as vulnerable to the forces of economics as it was to the forces of the nature which surrounded it.
This is the story of that town and of the people who lived, and worked there. A town that was wiped from the face of the earth. Not by fire, wind or flood, but by the people who owned it.
This is the story of Valsetz.
