Does anyone know if the heritage apple orchard at the Howell Territorial Park on Sauvie Island is ever open for a tour and tasting opportunity?

I believe the OR Historical Society no longer has a Harvest Festival there where I once had a very enlightening experience learning about old varieties.
Any new info?
THanks,

My son does work on Sauvie's Island and he said that the park is open to the public and you can just walk in. Just be sure you are on the grounds and not on one of the adjoining farms. He said he stopped and tried fruits from some of the trees this fall.

Just go to the bridge, go 1 mile north, and turn right on Howell Park Rd. You are now in the park and it's public.
This might work too:

Did you read the rules for that place under "picnic reservations" in the link? Geez!!

I wouldn't want to be there. About the last line is that picking fruit from the historical orchard is not permitted.
