First settled in 1846, we are a small town, with fascinating people, classic houses, picket fences, old fashioned front porches and a lazy river that winds through our beautiful city park. Experience a leisurely pace in our charming shops, memorable restaurants, and unique museum. You'll find us nestled in the foothills of the Cascades in the mid Willamette valley, just off I-5. An easy drive from Portland, Eugene, or Corvallis. We invite you, your family or your business to our friendly community, where life is sweet and the welcome is warm.
