A look back into Welches, Oregon’s past
This is an early view of when Billy Welch’s Ranch was in transition from a camp ground to an era of summer cabins.
This is a 4×6 glass plate negative made by Ed Roberts. The Roberts family were one of the first folks to live in Welches. Ed Roberts was the son of the family who became a photographer and later in life established Roberts Store in Welches. Roberts Store was a favorite spot for locals as well as summer campers and cabin dwellers for many years.
