Oregon City Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

About Oregon City

Although Portland is the main attraction in modern-day Oregon, those making the trek from the Midwest to Oregon along the Oregon Trail in the 1840s and 1850s came to their journey's end in Oregon City, near a camp called Abernethy Green. It was here that newly arrived settlers would camp while filing their land claims. Today, its downtown area retains the historic character thanks to preservation of the historic houses and buildings.
