Astoria Oregon
The area of Astoria Oregon and Warrenton
is a nationally
significant historic area; the western end of the Lewis & Clark
Trail and 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 Oregon 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.
