When someone's trash winds up being someone else's treasure, you're sure to find such items in a place like Eugene's Nostalgia Collectibles. This truly one-of-a-kind place offers new, old and rare collectibles. Whether you're looking for a vintage poster, a classic comic book or other piece of the past, the excellent staff will guide you on your search for your hidden treasure that isn't as hidden as you might have thought when you find it at Nostalgia Collectibles.

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.

Mom and dad will love the fact that the kids can learn about Eugene's history while getting some great exercise when visiting the Riverplay Discovery Village Playground. This is one of the largest playgrounds in the state and offers visitors a chance to experience the state's history and culture in a truly unique way. Creative play attractions and state-of-the-art features are the order of the day here, as the kids will enjoy climbing a 25-foot replica of Skinner Butte, uncovering fossils and exploring a replica of old pioneer villages.
