Portland, Oregon - Paul Bunyan Statue I was living in Portland for a few months and stumbled across this great Paul Bunyan in the Killingsworth district of Portland. He sits on a corner that is busy with traffic and train. [Kristen Grinnell, 05/07/2006][RA: He's a rare, semi-urban woodsman we've visited before. Not a Muffler Man, but an impressive ax wielder in friendly Portland.]
Portland, Oregon - Paul Bunyan Statue This Paul Bunyan Statue, 35 feet tall, was erected in 1959 to greet visitors to the Oregon Centennial Exposition. He stands at the fork of a busy street in the Kenton neighborhood, a rare semi-urban Bunyan, adjacent to the Dancing Bare Gentlemens Club.
He is reported to be maintained these days by the Kenton Neighborhood Association and some local Boy Scouts. [Roadsideamerica.com Team, 06/16/2002]
[RA: February 2009: Paul has just been added to the National Register of Historic Places as a "well-crafted example of roadside architecture."]Nearby Offbeat Places
