Seaside Museum and Historical Society.

Access to Seaside became available during late 1800s. The “Daddy Train” phenomenon began around 1888 spanning into the 1950’s. It is depicted in the large mural installed in 2001 on the east side of the Seaside Museum Building.

Railway travel from Portland to the coast swelled Seaside’s and Gearhart’s population every summer as visitors flocked to enjoy the beach.

At the next History and Hops, local author, Sue Glen presents “Riding the Rails” as she shares the history of the railway and the lore of daddy trains. September’s History and Hops will be held at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 28, at the Seaside Brewing Co., 861 Broadway.

Warrenton local, Sue Glen, is well known in history-of-place circles. She has written five history books, four based on places in Clatsop county.

History & Hops is a series of local history discussions hosted by the Seaside Museum on the last Thursday of each month, September through May, at Seaside Brewing Co.
