The Ermatinger House was owned by Francis Ermatinger and actually has quite the prominent role in the region's history. In 1845, Two businessmen, Francis Pettygrove and Asa Lovejoy, each had an equal share of some property north of Oregon City known as "The Clearing". They were unable to settle on a name, as both wanted to honor their hometowns. They left the decision to chance, agreeing to a best of three coin toss. Pettygrove won the contest, and as such earned the right to name The Clearing for his hometown: Portland, Maine. You can visit this historic home located at 619 6th Street on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
