Fort Vancouver to host photographer Rich Bergeman, talk about Rogue River War sites

The National Park Service recently announced that Rich Bergeman, a photographer based in Corvallis, Oregon, is the guest curator of an exhibit in the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site Visitor Center. The photography exhibit opened in late April and will run through Sept. 25 in the visitor center’s theater. 

Bergeman will give a public talk at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 20. Both the exhibit and talk are free, but advance reservations are recommended for the talk. After the talk on May 20, Bergeman will be available to sign copies of his book, available for purchase from the Friends of Fort Vancouver Bookstore, also located in the Visitor Center.

The exhibit features a dozen black and white infrared photographs from Bergeman’s two-year project exploring Southern Oregon in search of landscapes where the Rogue River Indian Wars took place in the 1850s.
