"Located on Interstate 5, between Eugene and Salem, Albany, Oregon
is a great place to stay and get a taste of Oregon, since it is just
over one hour to Portland, the coast or the Cascade Mountain Range.
Colorful Queen Annes, Craftsman Bungalows that would make Gustav
Stickley proud, museums, antique shopping and over 700 historic
buildings in three nationally registered historic districts; a visit
to Albany, Oregon is an experience rich in pioneer history and
charm. Whether you are looking for museums, scenic drives,
historic sites, wineries, special events and festivals or outdoor
recreation, Albany is the place to be. Albany, Oregon is at
the center of a region full of outdoor possibilities. Water sports,
winter sports, and some of the Northwest's finest golf courses make
Albany the perfect headquarters for Willamette Valley adventures."
