Boones Ferry
Boones Ferry (also Boone's Ferry) was a cable ferry which crossed the Willamette River at present-day Wilsonville, Oregon, United States, from 1847 to 1954. It was part of a major land-based thoroughfare in pioneer times linking fledgling Portland with the pre-territorial government at Champoeg, and later Salem. It was eventually made obsolete by the Boone Bridge on Interstate 5.
