History Notes for Bing Cherries
When the cherries were exhibited in 1876 at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, people were amazed at their size. The cherry became popular both for its size and for its ability to stand up well to shipping.
The Milwaukie Museum in Oregon has kitchen chairs that belonged to Seth Lewelling. Seth was responsible for organizing the campaign in 1894 to add referendums to Oregon's Constitution, which was done in 1902.
