About Fred Harlow House

The Fred Harlow House sits in Harlow House Park in Troutdale, Oregon. Fred Harlow, son of Troutdale's founder, built the home in 1900 on the family farm, and it has stayed close to its original form. The city bought the house and grounds in 1979, then sold the house to the Troutdale Historical Society to operate as a museum while keeping the grounds as public parkland. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The 1.4-acre site includes the house, a second museum called The Barn, and a parking area, and it serves as the trailhead for Robin's Way Trail.
