Oregon’s Mt. Hood Territory is rich in culture and pioneer heritage. We take pride in preserving our heritage, and we invite you to explore our past as well as the contemporary arts and culture of today.

OREGON CITY
In the mid-1800s, emigrants were drawn to Oregon City as the official end of the Oregon Trail. The first incorporated city west of the Rocky Mountains, Oregon City was founded by Dr. John McLoughlin, and located close to the historic Willamette Falls – the 18th largest in the world based on volume of water. Today, visitors to Historic Oregon City can take a trip back in time by touring historic sites, museums and cultural centers or through local artwork and murals. Ride in one of the only outdoor municipal elevators, enjoy concerts in the park, festivals and riverboat excursions. Local cuisine ranges from fresh donuts at Munos Bakery to a Scottish ale at Highland Still House, and riverfront dining at Rivershore Grill on the Willamette to fine dining at Flambé.

GLADSTONE
Also referred to by locals as “Happy Rock,” Gladstone sits at the confluence of the Clackamas and Willamette Rivers, site of the first Oregon State Fair, the National Heritage Pow-Wow Tree (Native American peace tree), Chautauqua Festival, Latus Motors Harley-Davidson, and the locals’ favorite sweet treat – strawberry shortcake at Tebo’s Restaurant.

CLACKAMAS
Also known as the Sunrise Communities of Oregon’s Mt. Hood Territory. Clackamas is the location of Clackamas Town Center (one of Oregon’s largest malls), the Aquatic Park, and Oregon’s newest city in nearby Damascus. The communities offer endless dining options, from quaint cafes to chains and local restaurants – like Stone Cliff Inn on the bluffs above the Clackamas River.

MILWAUKIE
A stone’s throw from downtown Portland, Milwaukie signals the transition from urban bustle to small town charm. Located on the east bank of the Willamette River, Milwaukie is home to Dark Horse Comics, The Bomber, a Sunday farmers’ market and a downtown with a 1960s flavor. Known as the place where the Bing cherry was developed, Milwaukie offers many culinary delights, including Bob’s Red Mill Whole Grain Store, millers of more than 300 healthy whole-grain flours, cereals and baking mixes.
