Take a walk through time. Trace the path of the emigrants along the Oregon Trail. Echo Meadows was a popular “nooning” place where emigrants could rest themselves and their stock. Visitors can look at the interpretive signs then walk ½ mile on a paved path to see nearly one mile of intact wagon ruts, part of the primary Oregon Trail route from 1847 to1860. Throughout your walk to the wagon ruts you can stop and read the interpretive signs about the area and its history.
This day-use area has parking and a ½ mile of paved trail with interpretive signs. This awesome little piece of Oregon’s history is open year-round.
Nearby attractions are the City of Echo Fort Henrietta Park, city museum, and the Scenic old Umatilla River highway from Echo to Pendleton with one Oregon Trail highway wayside.
From Interstate 84, take Echo Exit 193, 5 miles west of City of Echo along Echo-Buttercreek Highway.

Timeless Echoes
The Highlights of a Decade Long Musical Journey
Presented By: The Old Joes Choir
30th and 31st of August 2008 at The British School Auditorium
It has been ten years, and The Old Joes Choir has come a long way, evolving musically, and as an entity that continues to enthral its public. A decade of dabbling, experimenting and extending the boundaries and limits of sound and music has stood in good stead, enabling a group of talented and committed individuals hone and perfect something they were already good at.
It was in 1997 that The Old Joes Choir embarked upon their musical journey; a voyage that has augured well and ushered in positive change, along with a loyal audience, fans of choral music, who have stood by them through the last ten years of evolution. Thus, it is only right that The Old Joes Choir pay tribute to their loyal, unwavering fans, and their decade old journey, through a musical celebration of the last ten years.
You are welcomed to witness a unique event, involving diversity in sound and style, in celebration of a ten year old journey, as The Old Joes Choir embarks upon a voyage of rediscovery; an expedition that will strike at the very core of their musical soul. Sit back, relax, and prepare to be enthralled, as they go back to their roots to present you with our Timeless Echoes.
Holy Trinity, Great Paxton, Cambridgeshire
We were exploring churches in the St Neots area, and this seemed like a good opportunity to visit the church at Great Paxton where I had last been some three years previously. Great Paxton is much smaller than Little Paxton, a suburb of St Neots, but the church is still not easily found being rather hidden away down a narrow lane off of the village street. In fact, it sits right beside the East Coast Main Line, London to Edinburgh, with long trains blaring through every few minutes. But it is worth finding, because it is remarkable.
In his book England's Thousand best Churches, Simon Jenkins writes: 'as long as English churches offer surprises such as Paxton they will survive', while Pevsner notes that 'the interior is not only a surprise, but an architectural shock of the highest order'. Despite the exterior appearance of a perpendicular church (though there are some clues) the interior reveals itself as an aisled, cruciform late Saxon/early Norman interior, echoes of Lydd in Kent. This is dramatic, but not terribly atmospheric because everything has been whitewashed, and while the rugged stone arcades and the vast, soaring transept arches would be thrilling if they were still bare stone, it isn't quite the same when they've been given a lick of emulsion. So for me this is not as exciting as as it clearly was for Messrs Jenkins and Pevsner. Perhaps more pleasing for me in any case is the surviving sense of what was once an Anglo-catholic hotspot, with furnishings to match and what appeared to be the smell of incense.

The Temple of the Echo is one of Haga Park’s many summer houses. Gustav III enjoyed eating outdoors on warm summer days and the Temple of the Echo was built as an airy summer ining area. It is oval in shape with a domed copper roof resting on 12 pairs of columns. The design of the roof creates an echo. The building was originally called the Temple of Venus and the Green Salon, but soon took on its current name due to the acoustics.
The temple was built in 1790 to design by Carl Christoffer Gjörwell, who was then a young colleague of architect Louise Jean Desprez. Gjörwell also designed a large oval buffet table for the centre of the space.
The temple was renovated in 1845 and the ceiling decorated with birds and cherubs, but in the mid 1920s this was all painted over. During the latest renovation in the early 1990s, the roof was repaired and the ceiling newly plastered. During this work fragments of the 19th-century painting were found and transferred to new plaster bases, which now reside in the Haga Park Museum in the Copper Tents. However, it was possible to recreate the 1840s ornamentation around the frieze, and that can be seen here in the temple. The Temple of the Echo is a listed historical monument and is managed by the National Property Board Sweden. Haga Park is subject to H.M The King’s royal right of disposition.
