Enjoy some quality time beach-side when you visit the Alderwood State Wayside. This forested tract along Highway 36 west of Junction City is a beautiful slice of Oregon’s natural beauty. Enjoy a comfortable picnic area as well as a short trail that runs along the Long Tom River. This is a great place to bring the whole family for some great outdoor fun or just enjoy it yourself relaxing on a blanket with your favorite book.

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.
