Celebrate Disability Pride Month at one of Lake Oswego’s most accessible natural areas, Iron Mountain Park.
The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library in Montpelier Vermont. Storywalk® is a registered service mark owned by the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
