The Wolf Creek Inn State Heritage Site located in the town of Wolf Creek is a lasting testament to the early settlements of Oregon. It took people, many with different backgrounds, to forge our communities. Many of these peoples came from central Europe where agriculture and farming were their way of life. By the 1880s close to 30 percent of the Oregon population were of German heritage. They brought with them diverse skills and culture. Oregon was a natural destination for these folks because the terrain was reminiscent of Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
Oktoberfest is a cultural festival. Originally a wedding in 1810 of “Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria” to “Therese Von Saschen Hildburghausen”, Oktoberfest evolved into a celebration of the harvest with many farmers, crafters and brewers returning each fall to display their wares.
Oktoberfest in Wolf Creek, Oregon is a tribute to culture and heritage, a celebration to be enjoyed by all.
