The county chamber introduces Troy and Flora together through the Grande Ronde country. Their histories deserve their own local accounts, rather than appearing only as a side trip from the central valley.

This hub will connect residents’ stories, local services, and historical records as they are documented.

A collecting priority

Help us know Troy.

What the atlas holds for Troy today: one sourced introduction and no other researched record, no state business registrations, 3 photographs and no first-person account.

What we are asking

  • What is Troy’s own story, told by people who live or lived there rather than as a side trip?
  • Which local services exist in Troy, and how do residents reach the ones that do not?
  • Which historical records about Troy should the atlas be reading?
  • How do care, food, rides, repairs and emergency help reach Troy in ordinary life?
