The Historic Methodist Meeting House and Joseph and Virginia Meek Children's grave site have been covered with asphalt and buildings.
But our group fought for and won a beautiful Memorial site on what is now the new Amazon last-mile delivery center in Hillsboro, Oregon.

Come see the monument for the Methodist Meeting House and the burial site of the pioneer children of historical legends Joseph and Virginia Meek.
