Lensbaby study of Pottsville in Merlin on April 12th 2010. The home of historic gas and steam engines, buildings and vintage hardware of the past. It is located on Pleasant Valley Road, off of Merlin-Galice Hwy. Pottsville was founded by Eugene "Debbs" Potts a former Mayor of Grants Pass and State Senator from Grants Pass in 1961 to 1985. "An accumulation of the past" is what you will find here. Home of thousands of items reflecting Oregon's early 20th century history. This site made for some outstanding Lensbaby images which will make it into the Abandoned Americana collection very soon. Thanks to my father for providing me with the tour. For viewing of the original color treatments of each of these images please see the Pottsville - Merlin,OR gallery.
