Guided Historical Tour

Come for an informal history lesson while enjoying the beauty and tranquility of Lone Fir Pioneer Cemetery in SE Portland. Friends of Lone Fir Cemetery conducts monthly tours, highlighting Portland’s founders, pioneers, its famous and infamous alike, as well as interesting headstones and monuments.

Come visit this hidden jewel! Explore 30 acres of mature trees, a very special rose garden and fascinating architecture in this unique place, the only cemetery in Portland listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Suitable for all ages. Wheelchair accessible by arrangement.

The tour will begin at the Soldiers Monument at 10am in the center of the cemetery and will last approximately 2 hours. Donations/tickets are $10 and you can reserve a spot in advance on our website.

We highly advise that you obtain tickets in advance since we will keep a limit of 30 people to maintain social distancing. We will allow for walk ups but we will be diligent upon maintaining the headcount for the tours at 30- this includes FLFC volunteers. That total will be split into two groups to also ensure this measure.


Bus riders, use Line 15.
