When my family first moved to the United States from Japan, we stayed with my mom's grandparents in Corvallis for a bit, but we finally found a house to rent in Shedd, OR. It was our first home here in the States. The tiny town that barely exists, and very likely, unknown to many. They have about the population of 200 or so people, and it's a community made up of mostly farmland and farmers. It may not look like much, but it does have a lot of history to it and many families who have lived here for a long time.
This is Owen Davidson. A young farmer on Davidson farm on Davidson RD. His family grows grass seeds, and has been farming this land in Shedd, OR since 1952. He mentioned that the COVID-19 situation hasn't really affected the farmers too much, except when they need to get a hold of new parts for machinery May 20, 2020.
The Thompson Flour Mill is one of the most iconic landmark of Shedd, OR. The original parts of the structure was built in 1858. There may be not much to find to do in Shedd, but this is one of the most interesting places to visit and see. It also holds little guides throughout the inside and around the mill itself.

The Shedd post office, and a small group of children running towards the back of the post office. This is about the one of the very few public buildings in tiny Shedd. May 20, 2020.
