Aurora 2003 Events


 

Aurora was Oregon's first National Historic District and has been an antiques center since the early 1970's.  (The first stores began here in the 1950's).  Known as Oregon's Antique Capital, the entire downtown area is given over to welcoming visitors to the historic buildings filled with antiques and specialty shops.  There are approximately 25 shops plus eateries.  The popular Old Aurora Colony Museum consists of five colony buildings including two colony homes, completely furnished.  The museum has wonderful collections of distinctive colony furniture and excellent textiles including quilts. 

Every season is reflected in a variety of local harvests throughout the year...from fields of flowers and berries, orchards of fruits, hazelnuts and fall foliage to selecting the perfect holiday tree.
