Sara and Juel dive into the history of Edgefield to the real haunting. The Multnomah County Poor Farm in Troutdale was built in 1911. November 1911, 211 inmates (later called residents) moved in, 75 of whom were bedridden due to chronic or untreated illness. "Meat and mush" tables divided residents: those able to work in the fields or in the institution ate meat three meals a day; the others had meat only once a day. Preservationists staved off demolition for nearly five years before the complex was purchased in 1990 by micro-brew pioneers Mike and Brian McMenamin. Listen as we talk about it. PS Free Britney
