Sally Freeman


Sally Freeman is a National Park Ranger who grew up near St. Paul, Oregon.
In 1986 she earned a B.S. in biology and a B.A. in communication arts along
with a minor in history at George Fox College in Newberg, Oregon.  For the
next two years she was a biology graduate student at the University of
Victoria, in B.C., Canada.  Sally’s N.P.S. work experience began as a
Student Conservation Association volunteer backcountry information aid at
North Cascades National Park in the summer of 1984.  She began working as a
seasonal park ranger (interpreter) at Fort Clatsop National Memorial in
1989.  In 1993 she had a temporary position for Hagerman Fossil Beds
National Monument/City of Rocks National Reserve working with the “Official
Oregon Trail Sesquicentennial Wagon Train.”  That September she returned to
Fort Clatsop and worked there seasonally until March 1995 when her position
converted to temporary part-time.  In 1998 her work schedule increased to
full-time. Her duties at Fort Clatsop (now Lewis and Clark National
Historical Park) include managing the volunteer program, supervising the
historic weapons program, compiling and calculating visitation statistics,
as well as coordinating tour groups, a guest speaker series, living history
special events, and much of the daily operations of the visitor center and
the fort.  She and her husband share their home with their four-legged
"children."  She is a leader of the Classy Canines 4-H Club and active in
Christian ministries.  She also enjoys reading, hiking, birding, canoeing,
and photography.
