The area of Astoria and
Warrenton is a nationally significant historic region at the
western end of the Lewis & Clark Trail. Astoria is the oldest
American settlement west of the Rockies; a place that takes
visitors back to simpler times, its architecture dominated
by hundreds of Victorian homes clinging to steep wooded hillsides
and with a revitalized 1920s era downtown; all set against
a backdrop of tremendous natural beauty in the temperate rain
forest at the mouth of the Columbia River. Visitors have an
opportunity to escape into an appealing, intriguing past.
Unspoiled and generally uncrowded, Astoria and Warrenton nonetheless
have several first-class interpretive attractions including
Fort Clatsop, the Columbia River Maritime Museum, the Flavel
House, Fort Stevens State Park, the Astoria Riverfront Trolley
and the Astoria Column. The area has an extraordinary sense
of place and feeling of history. Just across Young's Bay is
Warrenton, a city of 4,500, which encompasses Fort Stevens
State Park and its broad, clean ocean beaches.

Toledo Oregon
population 3,580
Toledo, situated on
a bend of the Yaquina River and surrounded by wooded hills,
is just seven miles inland from the Central Oregon Coast,
the only inland coastal community with a deep water channel.
The historic town cascades over the hillsides to the river.
Once a bustling mill town, Toledo is known today for antiques,
its community of artists living and working in Toledo, and
shops specializing in fine yarns and locally handcrafted gifts.
Toledo is one of the few cities in Oregon, which has a downtown
on a city street, not on a throughway or highway. Toledo's
Main Street retains its historical flavor, the waterfront
and fishing vessels visible moored at the end of Main. When
the wind starts to blow on the beach, Toledo is often warm
and sunny. The climate is modified by the nearby ocean, but
protected from the fog and winds of the coast. Toledo enjoys
summer temperatures of 10 to 15 degrees warmer than Newport.
Antique shops, art galleries, gift shops selling the work
of local crafters, a glass blowing studio, a fine yarn shop
and restaurants make Toledo an interesting place to visit.
Several world-class artists make their homes here, taking
inspiration from the small town atmosphere and beautiful river,
estuary, and rural vistas. Toledo is home to 3600 people and
there is a variety of shops and services. You'll find a wide
range of family-friendly activities throughout the year including
the Summer Festival and Fireworks in July, the Antique Street
Fair in August, the Art Walk in September and Hometown Holiday
in December.
