But Maryhill has something else pretty special.
People here know something about faith, hope and elbow grease.
A few decades ago, their little community church, a fixture in the orchards of Klickitat since 1888, was considered a hazard and scheduled to be razed. The people of Maryhill looked at the chapel, which had survived floods and fires only to die of neglect, and vowed to rescue their piece of history from the pigeons. Understand that Maryhill isn't a metropolis. It's an unincorporated spot of mostly orchards, and maybe 50 people live there if you count some twice. If you know Maryhill, it's probably because you've been to the fancy art museum nearby, or to the state park on the Columbia River, famous for its windsurfing.
