Timberline Lodge was dedicated September 28, 1937, by
President Franklin D. Roosevelt (above).

He dedicated the lodge, saying, "I am here to dedicate the
Timberline Lodge and I do so in the words of the bronze
tablet directly in front of me on the coping of this wonderful
building: ‘Timberline Lodge, Mount Hood National Forest
dedicated September 28, 1937, by the President of the United
States as a monument to the skill and faithful performance of
workers on the rolls of the Works Progress Administration.”

Most work was complete at the time of the dedication. After
some interior details were finished, the lodge opened to the
public February 4, 1938.
