Augustus Fanno Farmhouse

The Augustus Fanno Farmhouse was the home of Augustus Fanno, one of the first European American settlers in what became Washington County, Oregon. Born in Maine in 1804, Fanno lived in Missouri as a young adult before moving to Oregon in 1846 with his first wife, Martha, and their son. After Martha died in childbirth in Linn City in the Willamette Valley, Fanno and his son settled a 640 acre donation land claim twelve miles northwest on a small tributary of the Tualatin River, the first such claim filed in the county.
