Bridal Veil is a virtual ghost town located in Multnomah County, Oregon, United States.
A V-shaped log flume was built for the rough cut timber to get down the mountain to the planing mill at the railroad tracks in Bridal Veil.
The Bridal Veil Falls Lumbering Company ended its ownership of the mill with the fire and ceased to operate in the town.
When the first post office opened in about 1886, and the railroad built a small station there, the community was officially named Bridal Veil.
Despite a ten-year fight from the Crown Point Country Historical Society to preserve the mill houses and buildings in Bridal Veil, the trust had them demolished in 2001.
To track down the owners of the cemetery—the heirs to the founders of the Bridal Veil Lumbering Company—the society had to employ the use of volunteer attorneys and title searchers.
With possession of the land title, the society now has the exclusive right to preserve the cemetery, whose stones bear witness to the diphtheria and smallpox epidemics that swept through Bridal Veil over a century ago.
