BRIDAL VEIL HISTORICAL PRESERVATION SOCIETY
First established in the 1880s as Oregon’s first paper mill, the Bridal Veil site was established by the lumbering company in 1886 to mine the timber resources of Larch Mountain. A saw-mill and logging town named Palmer was built one- and one-half-miles uphill, and a wooden V-shaped flume floated the rough cut timber down the mountain to the planning mill at the railroad tracks at Bridal Veil. When fire destroyed the first Palmer, taking two lives, a second Palmer was rebuilt higher up the mountain. Eighteen miles of railroad track helped to haul the harvest.
The cemetery and the two buildings are all that remain of the historic town. The Bridal Veil Historical Preservation Society invites members to join in saving the surviving community. Membership is $20. The address of the organization is P.O. Box 33, Bridal Veil, OR 97010.
