One of the displays in the Burrows House Museum in Newport, Oregon, is called Cars: Motoring the Coast. According to the Museum display:
“Automobiles came late to Oregon’s coast. When the first cars arrived about 1910, the roads were not ready. Road construction speeded up after WWI demonstrated a need for a reliable north-south route and inland access. Better roads brought more visitors to the coast along with new roadside attractions and new towns, like Depoe Bay.”
