The fascinating history of Crook County doesn't only belong to the men who settled here. Women arrived as wives, adventurers, and entrepreneurs. With the return of People from Our Past at the Bowman Museum, you will have a chance to chat with historical figure Dorothy Lawson McCall – no time machine required. Lawson McCall was born into a life of luxury as the daughter of a prominent East Coast financier. After marrying Harvard graduate Henry "Hal" McCall, she traveled with him to the 640 acres along the Crooked River purchased for the young couple by Hal's father. She raised former Oregon governor Tom McCall and his four siblings "on the biggest ranch house anywhere" and even pitched her own brief gubernatorial campaign. Historical reenactor Dawn Alexander will bring Dorothy Lawson McCall to life for People from Our Past's February run. The presentations will take place on February 9 th and 16 th and March 9 th and 16 th from 12:15pm – 1:00 PM in
