Sightseeing
The Ezra Meeker family moved into the mansion in 1886 or 1887. It is believed that construction on the mansion was completed about 1890. Mr. Meeker had become wealthy through the production of hops. He was known as the "Hop King of the World." During the years that Meeker lived in the mansion, he worked to trace and mark the Oregon Trail. Meeker spent many hours writing about the Oregon Trail and the history of the Puget Sound. He produced twelve books on these topics. The Meeker Mansion was the social and political center of the valley, during Ezra Meekers life. There are holly trees which he brought from England and also a ginkgo tree.
