Arcadia Orchards Film
Переглядів 10 тис.5 років тому
Around 1910 a promotional film was made for the Arcadia Apple Orchard to entice investors for what was claimed to be the world's largest irrigated apple orchard. The Clayton Deer Park Historical Society helped sponsor a restoration and digitization of the original film stock. The film features early shots of downtown Spokane and the train to Deer Park.
In Search of the Gwen

Searching for the sunken Gwen tour boat in Loon Lake, Washington. In the early 1900s, the steam-powered Gwen plied the waters of Loon Lake, Washington. Passengers traveled by rail from nearby Spokane for a day of lake cruising. In this video a team from the Clayton - Deer Park Historical Society uses an Aquanaut to explore a sunken vessel that may be the long lost Gwen. If you have any informat...
Wow, the memories! Selling that vanilla all over Clayton to help raise money for Philadelphia. Weirdly, I don't remember much about marching in the parade itself, but I do remember the part where the sky opened up and started dumping. I don't think we actually finished the last little bit of the parade route.
Never seen rain like that before or since!
Amazingly Beautiful🌹
That's what I call riding the plow!
Deer Park sucks for apples, colder than Spokane, shorter growing season, late frosts. Green Bluff blew it out of the water.
Green Bluff is almost exclusively country mansions housing Spokane’s more affluent class, and their hobby farms, hobby orchards, and tourist traps entertaining other Spokane residents. Deer Park is an actual agricultural community where people earn a living with their fields, orchards and cattle. Some even work 40 hours plus then come home to farm till the wee hours of the morning. You can tell by our houses and fields devoid of tourist signage, sheer ANNOYANCE at city visitors trampling the sunflowers and other crops, and most notably the real estate prices. It’s not even a comparison. BTW - apples are MADE for this weather and do freakin amazing here - you can reference WSU if you doubt me, that’s not why the orchards failed - also reference Apple maggot quarantine area for more info.
I have a letter written in Italian from Arcadia Orchard Company in New York to my Great grandfather Mike DePaola telling him how much the train ticket to Deer Park from New York. We've always thought that he had seen an ad at the movies. I wonder if I'm watching the same film that he watched 110 years ago. My family has lived in Deer Park ever since.
Hi Tom, Thanks so much for this film. My family have lived at 1302 E Crawford for 45 years and it was the home built for E.N. Robinson who it appears was the president of Arcadia orchards. My mom still has the original blueprints (on linen no less) that have the name E.N. Robinson and the architecture firm as well. This film has been really eye opening and educational for me and my family.
Kinda stresses me out to see horses, pedestrians, cars and trolleys all running around with no traffic lights or guidance! Who the heck has the right of way?! :)
I wondered the same. I guess stop signs came later!! Lol
It's great to see this film restored and preserved. No music credits?
This is great, I know my family had links to the orchard at the time. Probably the Mason side of my family.
Wow! Could we get a reenactment of that tour around downtown Spokane? It would be fun to see what it looks like now. Trolleys, horses and automobiles! The scene of loading apple boxes onto a train car looks like the street side of the old DP hotel building. And I’m curious, did anyone ever see water flowing in the aqueducts? Are those concrete vents still around? Can you imagine how different Loon Lake would be if the irrigation systems had continued?
Look at all that soil being blown away!
Pre dust bowl days of the Midwest. We’ve come a long way!
@@carolynknapp-nelson9552 You would hope he have come a long way tell you spend time in agriculture and see the amount of tilling and erosion. Even in the palouse. We are not as far as you would hope.
would dept of ecology (or whoever regulates it) allow this to be raised? not even sure it would hold up to such a task
An attempt by an individual was made to remove the boat as a tourist attraction. It was brought to the surface but neighbors called the Steven's County Sheriff who stopped the removal and the plan was scuttled. A call to the DNR revealed they would consider the boat an unnatural object and would have supported it's removal. The Society's attempts to contact any involved parties for more information has been unsuccessful.
pretty cool that you can still find trees from the original orchards scattered around the area still bearing fruit and also old pieces of the flume lying here and there.
Glad you found it! One of our tags is Spokane History, so it seems it should have shown up.
I had a hard time finding this film. I kept looking under early and historic Spokane. I am glad I did find as the film is really fascinating to watch. Thank you Tom
