Whatever it is that interests your tour group

you will nd a festival or event here in the mid-

Willamette Valley and Linn County that will t

. . . and folks here know how to throw a party!

Some annual events have been happening

every year for the last 100 or more years.

A Culinarytraveler may enjoy the Lebanon

Strawberry Festival. The rst full weekend

in June each year you will nd this 100-year

old event in full swing. It features an old

fashioned community parade complete with a

Festival Queen and her court. Enjoy a sample

of the Worlds Largest Strawberry Shortcake

served up for free at the end of the parade.

Pair a visit to the Strawberry Festival with a

visit to a local winery like Marks Ridge, one

of Oregons newest wineries. Let your group

enjoy a glass of Oregon Pinot and the evening

out on the patio beside the tasting room

which overlooks the valley . . . it doesnt get

better than this!

If you are a Culture Seeker, come to the

Historic Home Tours in Albany or

Carriage Me Back in Brownsville. In

Albany, the last Saturday in July brings the

annual Historic Homes Interior Tour

and the second Sunday in December brings

the Christmas Parlour Tour. These two

tours offer event goers the opportunity to

see examples of the wonderful architecture

from days gone by and how people live in

these beautiful historic homes. Brownsville

adds a air for the dramatic to its history

with its Carriage Me Back tour. The featured

vignettes tell a story about the people of this

small town on a particular day in history.

The tours in both communities are very

popular with event goers.

The Culture Lover will nd numerous cultural

experiences in Albany and Linn County.

Brownsville, just south of Albany on Highway

228, is a wonderful place to start your cultural

tour of Linn County. First settled in 1846,

Brownsville is a small town with fascinating

people, classic houses, picket fences, old-

fashioned front porches and a lazy river

that winds through the beautiful city park.

Experience a leisurely pace in the charming

shops, memorable restaurants and unique

museums. Enjoy the friendly communitywhere life is sweet and the welcome is warm.

Base your group at one of Albanys great

hotels just off I-5 Halseys Travel Lodge

Pioneer Villa, or Harrisburgs River Bend

Resort. Then head east to Brownsville on

228 and have breakfast at Randys Main

Street Coffee. From there, spend the

morning exploring downtown Brownsville.Remember the classic 1986 ri tes-of-passage

movie Stand By Me? It was lmed in

Brownsville and by following the walking

tour map, you can visit the hot spots where

the action took place.

Explore more of Brownsvilles history by visiting

the Linn County Historical Museum

and the 1881 Moyer House. Displays and

museum volunteers bring local stories to life.

This museum has one of the last wagons used

on the Oregon Trail. It also houses a theater

where you can choose to watch one of several

short movies about the past.

The morning will be over much too soon

and then it is time to stop for lunch at

Brownsvilles Corner Caf where you will

enjoy wonderful food and a great atmosphere.

Be sure to ask the staff how they get the dollar

bills to stick to the dining room ceiling.

After lunch, for a totally unique experience,

head back east on 228 and visit the Living

Rock Studio Museum and Gift Shop.

This museum features rocks, art, postcards,

photographs, history and displays. This is one

attraction you wont want to miss.

From the Living Rock Museum, head west and

then north on Highway 99 to Shedd. There,

Thompsons Mills is a unique reminder of

times past, chronicling 150 years of Oregon

rural life. It is the oldest water-powered grain

mill in the state: its system of waterways,

dams, control gates, ditches and dikes has

moved water from the Calapooia River to

the mill head gates since 1858. A water right

that predates statehood produced the water

ow that ran the milling machines. Pioneer

families came with their grain crops and leftwith the our that would keep them through

the coming year. Visitors to the mill today wil

see interpretive exhibits with antique milling

machinery, hand-hewn timbers and mortise

and tenon construction.

After a day full of Linn County culture, go back

south on Highway 99 to Harrisburg, a quaint

little town in Linn County that hosts a GoodOl Fashioned 4th of July event with a

reghters breakfast, parade, concerts and

reworks. Harrisburg also hosts the Summer

Sounds Outdoor Concerts on Tuesday

nights and Summer Flix Outdoor Movies

on Friday nights in August at the river. Have

dinner at the newly opened River Bend Resort

Restaurant where diners enjoy good food with

a river view. From their river location, you can

enjoy both Summer Sounds and the Good

Ol Fashioned 4th of July reworks without

leaving the resort. Then head back to your

home base and rest up for another day of fun

in Linn County.

What could be more relaxing than a quiet

drive through the countryside? Rolling hills

of peaceful pastures and family farms will

welcome you to a path less travelled, through

Linn Countys Covered Bridge Tour. Known

as the covered bridge capitol of the west, Scio

is right in the middle of ve covered bridges

spanning Thomas and Crabtree Creeks.

Just off the covered bridge trail is the

town of Lebanon, home of the Worlds

Largest Strawberry Shortcake, during

the Strawberry Festival in early June, and a

great place to shop for antiques. In the midst

of Oregons scenic wonderland, Lebanon

is a strategic home-base for year-round

recreation. Known for their small-town charm

and high-tech vision of the future, Lebanon

offers all the services you are accustomed

to plus numerous recreational activities.

The South Santiam River owing throughLebanon offers shing, swimming, canoeing

and rafting opportunities at the public boat

landings, riverside parks, and two nearby

reservoirs.

Base your group in Lebanon, at the Shanico

Inn or Valley Inn. After a hearty breakfast at

the Apple Tree Restaurant, head north to

Scio. On the way, the Larwood Bridge offers

a unique experience to witness Roaring River

ow into Crabtree Creekunusual enough

to make it into Ripleys Believe It Or Not. A

small park allows visitors to stop, take pictures,

and get their feet wet or just sit and take in this

peaceful setting. Look across the river to see

the waterwheel that supplied water power to

nearby residents in years gone by.

After exploring the covered bridges, head

to Scios Covered Bridge Coffee House

or The Old Silver Dollar for lunch. Be sure

to stop by the Historic ZCBJ Hall. Built in

1922, it has been maintained with loving care

by members of the Scio community for 84

years. The initials Z.C.B.J. stand for Zapandi

Czechoslovakia Brakaska Jednota, or WesternCzechoslovakian Fraternal Association. The

Czechoslovakian community moved to the

Scio area in the late 1890s and the hall was

constructed to house the many community

events.

If you crave some more relaxing activities,

head east, where the Cascade

Mountains draw thousands

of photographers, naturalists, and nature

buffs, and even those who just want to relax

and watch the wildlife. Mountain lakes, trails

and waterfalls are just a few of the areas

attractions. Anglers nd bountiful shing

on more than a dozen lakes and reservoirs

nearby. Boaters, canoers and swimmers

alike nd Foster Lake and Green Peter

Reservoir perfect destinations for relaxing.

If a round of golf is how you relax, then

Elkhorn Golf Course in Lyons, or

Pinewood or Mallard Creek golf courses in

Lebanon, offer an option for every budget and

skill level. Originally a gentleman only sport,

today everyone is welcome.

In the evening, take time out to enjoy

tree-lined parks or stroll along Lebanons

waterfronts and have dinner at Mama

Lindas Italian Restaurant or Sum Yan

Chinese Restaurant. Then round out your

relaxing day with a glass of wine at Marks

Ridge Winery between Lebanon and Sweet

Home. Open weekends or by appointment,

the breathtaking views entice visitors to sit,

sip and stay awhile before tucking in for the

night. Be sure to bring your camera.

covered bridges

D I D Y O U k N O W . . . ?

Covered bridges could provide shelter for a family during a long winter.

Locals sometimes protected their mail boxes by installing them inside

covered bridges.

Each county in Oregon adopted a specic covered bridge design.

Oregon has the most covered bridges of any state west of the Mississippi.

The roofs and sides of covered bridges were not for beauty,

but to protect the large wooden trusses.

Oregon was the rst state to legislate covered bridge

rehabilitation and maintenance.

Covered bridges were used as mileposts on early maps and

tour guides.

National corporations, such as McDonalds and Sears, have used

the Hannah Bridge, just north of Scio, in television commercials.

Ripleys Believe It or Notonce featured the Larwood Bridge, justeast of Crabtree on Hwy. 20, stating that it is the only spot in the U.S.

where a river ows into a creek. This is where the Roaring River empties

into the Crabtree Creek.

The rst covered bridges were toll bridges. Typical toll charges were:

Wagon with oxen or horses 25 cents; Horse and carriage 18 cents;

Single footman 5 cents; Horses and cattle 3 cents per head.

One previous Oregon covered bridge hosted a one-holer toilet to

serve sherman and others along Thomas Creek.

TheSeattle Times published an article about Oregons Covered

Bridges which generated 500 telephone calls to the Albany Visitors

Association in just one week!
