"Astoria has an edge of the world beauty that wins your heart. A quirky, supernatural aura hovers over it." -National Geographic Traveler Magazine, Sept. 2006

Picturesque Astoria is the oldest American settlement west of the Rockies. Visitors have an opportunity to escape into an appealing, intriguing past in a place that takes you back to simpler times.

Its architecture is dominated by hundreds of Victorian homes clinging to steep wooded hillsides with a revitalized 1920's era downtown and working waterfront, all set against a backdrop of tremendous natural beauty in the temperate rain forest at the mouth of the Columbia.

The area offers several first-class attractions including the Liberty Theater, Heritage Museum, Flavel House, Astoria Column, Columbia River Maritime Museum, Astoria Riverfront Trolley, Lewis & Clark National Historical Park, Fort Stevens state Park and beaches for exploring in Warrenton.

Experience the magic.
