Lived in Lincoln when I was baby till about 2 yr old. My dad (& uncle)worked at the mill making repairs and helped get it up and running again. We had the biggest cabin on left along a short road with other cabins & families. Everyone shared what they had for instance if someone got a deer, it was cut so all families benefited. Remember a sad story of a man finding a baby in a resivor while fishing and the identity is still unknown & murder unresolved. We later moved to Klamath Falls & bought a home for 8000.00 while my dad continued in logging. Most of mill is gone now but I have a painting of my dad walking pond that my great grandfather painted.
Lincoln is just a couple of miles north of West Salem on Wallace Road (Highway 221) on the West side of the Willamette River. There’s a small convenience store on the corner of Zena Road, a few manufactured homes and lots of nearby farms. Not a place to visit, just drive by on your way to Dayton.

Thank you for stopping by Ann! If you have any pictures or other stories of the town, we’d love see and hear of them!
