About Joseph Sherar
- Joseph Sherar (November 16, 1833 – February 11, 1908) was a 19th-century wagon road builder who, with his wife, Jane, owned and operated a Deschutes River toll bridge and a nearby stagecoach station and hotel in Wasco County in the U.S.
- state of Oregon.
- The bridge and buildings were slightly downstream of the river's lowermost waterfall, a traditional fishing spot for the native inhabitants of the region. Sherar improved the bridge and about 60 miles (97 km) of the existing wagon road that crossed it.
- He and his wife, Jane, operated the Sherar Bridge Hotel from 1871 until their deaths in 1907–08.
- A concrete bridge has since replaced Sherar's wooden bridge and carries Oregon Route 216 over the river near the waterfall.
