Pepsi Primetime Pop-Up: VANPORT

Nov.1-Dec. 31 

How Oregon’s Second Largest City Vanished In A Day

The Vanport traveling exhibit tells the story of the City of Vanport, the largest wartime housing development in the nation and the most racially diverse city in Oregon at the time. Before it was destroyed by floodwater in 1948, Vanport was the second largest city in
Oregon. Today, the area where Vanport was located is occupied by a golf
course, a public park, and the Portland International Raceway.
