    This is Historical Gresham Downtown. A fun community with a…read moresmall town - downtown feel. You can find many restaurants, eateries, cafe and froyo! Not to mention a fun Candy store. Besides, culinary ventures to Mexican, Vietnamese and Traditional American you can also find some "Art" aspects. Such as Photography, Museums, Music ( from instruments for sale to lessons). Seems like this little downtown area has a lot to offer. For a Wednesday Midday - was able to find parking relatively at ease. Originally, The Gresham Historical Museum was what my attention, but sadly due to a fire the Museum has been closed for awhile. I was however, informed by a staff that they planned on opening towards the end of November filled with many new decorations for the upcoming holidays. *Bring your kids! Pictures with Santa will also be available- Call Museum to confirm Date & Time. After walking through the downtown area, I was enjpying the fall leaves fluttering down as couples went into a restaurant to eat, friends were leaving, people just enjoying a cup of joe,etc. There are many fun 'memorial/ donation' statues you will see left and right. Overall, Felt completely at ease and safe and would highly recommend friends and family to stop by and enjoy this quaint area. Grab a bite to eat, enjoy the museum, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the weather on the many benches available. Looking forward to coming back to visit once again.

    We visited the house for the Winterville holiday festival. Based on the website, it seems like 2016…read morewas the first year this took place, so it's a new event. Essentially, the event is only for two weekends in December. The house was decorated for the holidays a la Pittock Mansion. In one of the rooms they had amateur string players playing holiday music, and there were a few docents around the house providing historic information on the home. The house itself was decorated with Christmas lights, and they also had a sort of Christmas light garden out front. Outdoors next to the house they had a cute wooden sleigh with a decent Santa. Pictures with Santa (with your personal camera or phone) were included in the admission price. Next to that was a tent with concessions and live holiday music. They had alcoholic beverages for purchase as well as hot chocolate and non alcoholic cider for the kids. While we were there we heard choral music from what looked to be a high school choir. There was a vendor fair as well, but, frankly, it was terrible. Not sure if they normally have more vendors and no one showed up due to concerns over road conditions, but there were like three booths, and the tent was mostly empty. Parking was at the business center across the street, and there were volunteers to safely walk you across the road. Overall, this was a cute little event. The price was a little high for a winter event, in my opinion, but it was pretty reasonable considering the fact that it also included the tour of the historic home as well as all of the Christmas displays.

    It's Portland Heritage and History!!! We should always seek out knowledge and what a great place to…read moregain a little history and knowledge. The house is a time capsule it's a little eerie, it's staged as if they went on Holiday and never returned. From the authentic period clothing on mannequins that can also be found in photos, to their Knick-knacks and memorabilia. It's like stepping back to the early 1900's. The house isn't Pittock Mansion Status, but it shows the working family farm life and the docets are very informative and point out little tidbits of history to watch for as you wander the property on a self guided tour. Total time in the house was about 30minutes and another 15 exploring the gardens and farm area. Pretty good activity on a cloudy day we took 2 teens and they found everything interesting. 4 stars because the building is in dire need of repairs.

Wish they would update the Native American plaque on the large rock instead of saying aboriginal Paradise actually name the native peoples of this area.

Also known as The Women's Forum for the women who raised finds to purchase than donate the land to Oregon Park & Recreation Department, I wrote a similar view under that heading. The drive along Scenic Highway 30 to get there is just as gorgeous! It's absolutely worth an intentional stop here, then continue on to the Vista House to take in more of this gorgeous scenery As you visit the waterfalls, hiking trails, Hood River, and all that the Columbia River Gorge has to offer. There is a huge parking lot and while most people drive to the end where it's closer to the River, the best views are as soon as you enter. So park immediately to the right and take it all in. Then walk down to the end of the parking lot for additional vistas. There are informational placards that provide the history of this magical spot, including the history of the women who raised money to purchase this piece of land and then gifted it to the Oregon Park and Recreation Department. This is why this area is also named The Women's Forum With the name of the women memorialized on a placard. There are coin operated telescopes (coins required, cost 50 cents) at the end nearer to the river so you can get an up close view of the landscape, birds and wildlife. There are a few benches to relax and breathe in the beauty of this incredible area. Chanticleer Point is a place I visit often on my way through the Gorge. On a blue sky day, a day filled with clouds or even fog, a spectacular view is there to enjoy! It sometimes gets windy so be prepared; this is the Gorge!. When friends come to Portland for a visit, Chanticleer Point is always on the agenda. They are awe struck by the incredible beauty of this gorgeous vantage point. Plus it's the epic spot for a photo!
