Gotta love this place. Besides the awesome history and the people that insure we remember it, there are always great family friendly events here during the summer. Thank you Oregon City, and everyone else, that make this one of our favorite local attractions!

If you're a local, become a tourist in your own city. And if you're not local you can learn so much by stopping in. This is a great place to educate yourself on the longest emigration in America, the horrors and successes on the trails and the general history of Oregon. Take your kids! They'll love it.
