Discover how Portland's identity has been carved by the routes we've traveled. From maritime commerce that built a bustling port city to the streetcars, railways, and highways that connected neighborhoods and spurred growth, transportation has been the invisible architect of Portland's landscape. Watch as neighborhoods took root near wharves and rail yards, clustering around the workplaces that sustained them, then follow the transformation as trolleys and automobiles unlocked suburban expansion and reshaped the boundaries of community.
This exhibit traces the evolution of how we move—and how movement has transformed our streets, waterfronts, and the very fabric of where we live. Transportation didn't just connect places; it opened economic and cultural links that attracted visitors, new residents, and businesses, weaving Portland into regional and global networks. Explore historic photographs, maps, and artifacts that reveal the surprising ways getting from here to there has shaped the city we know today. When you visit, join the conversation: share the transportation moments you believe shaped Portland, adding your voice to this evolving story that will grow throughout the exhibit's run.
