It’s against the law in Creswell to ride your horse down Old Town Road, or more precisely, the town’s main drag, Oregon Avenue.
The 50-year-old town city ordinance has some people up in arms. And a group of right-wing extremists planning a Creswell Fourth of July Parade say they may not have any permits for their event, but that won’t stop them from riding their horses through town even if it’s illegal.
The entire July 4 event has been controversial among locals, but this specific point of contention comes from a law written in the Creswell Municipal Code that states,“No person shall ride or lead a horse on Oregon Avenue from Front Street to 10th Street or within a city park, unless in connection with a parade approved by the city.”
