Title
1905 c. Tampico town site in Soap Creek Valley
Description
The old tavern at Tampico in the Soap Creek Valley of Benton County. to the left of the structure is the site of the horse racing track. Tampico was a rival community of Corvallis in the mid to late 1850s. Although this image dates nearly 40 years after Letitia moved from the Soap Creek Valley, it paints a portrait of the life of Soap Creek Valley settlers in a time period similar to, adjacent to Letitia's. The surrounding land and lifestyle mirror what David and Letitia experienced during their time in the valley, giving us an idea of what life would have been like for them when photographs were too new to have captured Benton County, Oregon.
