Oregon's First National Historic District
 


 

     With its lush rural setting, the village of Aurora welcomes visitors with a glimpse into the 19th century.  As Oregon's first National Historic District, the town's distinctive original architecture is home to a first-class museum complex and an unrivaled antique shopping experience that earns its designation as the state's antique capital.

     You'll find Aurora easily accessible and only 25 minutes from Portland or Salem ... but, it will seem like it's 100 years away!

     Settled in 1856 as a German Christian community whose members traveled over the Oregon Trail, the Aurora 'Colony' was the only successful western communal society of the time.  Known for delicious German cooking, fine orchards and famous brass bands, the village became both a destination and a crossroads for travel in the Willamette Valley.

     Check the Oregonian Home and Garden section on Thursdays to see additional details planned for each weekend and to read advertisements offering specials. The big event of the year is Aurora Colony Days, held in mid August.  Come and visit, escape the rush of the big city and relax in our friendly little village of 614 people.
