When you think about it, the history you sometimes find in your own back yard can be truly amazing. That element of surprise and discovery is what makes a visit to the Lane County Historical Society and Museum so much fun. This fascinating venue was established to collect, preserve and interpret the history of Lane County. It accomplishes its mission quite well through the use of various exhibits, presentations and children's educational programs.
Your need for good exercise is important, but then again, it is equally vital for your pet. Head to the Candlelight Park Off-Leash where you both can get in some enjoyable outdoor exercise. This park is specifically designated as an off-leash area, so your dog can enjoy the freedom and fun of running free without leaving the view of your watchful eye. The park is conveniently located off of Royal Avenue at Candlelight.
There are classic events, and then there are classically classic events like the Oregon Bach Festival held the last part of June and into early July.

The event is held in Eugene at the University of Oregon's Beall Concert Hall and the Hult Center for the Performing Arts as well as other cities in Oregon.
