Silverton, Oregon. Zip code 97381.
In a very real sense, Silverton has something for everyone.
A world-class botanical garden. Oregon's largest state park.
An historic downtown. A thriving arts community. A state-of-the-art
medical center. And a small-town ambience that draws people
here for a day, and for a lifetime.
The historic downtown district and the beautiful mansions
perched on the hills surrounding downtown also bring thousands
of visitors to our city. Many of the stately homes are becoming
bed and breakfast establishments, beckoning visitors to stay
and sample a bygone era before strolling the downtown historic
district and stopping into the many unique shops, galleries
and eateries.
The arts are also in full blossom in Silverton, with the
Silverton Fine Arts Festival as its centerpiece. It and the
growing contingent of galleries promise to make Silverton
a nurturing home for the arts.
Other festivals pay tribute
to the area's legendary residents, from Homer Davenport, the
turn-of-the-century political cartoonist, to Al Faussett,
who took the plunge over Silver Falls in a canoe. And don't
forget the mother of all festivals, Oktoberfest, which attracts
350,000 people a year four miles up the road in Mt. Angel.
Silverton's small-town ambience doesn't detract from its
big-town capabilities. Silverton
Hospital, a state-of-the-art medical facility in the heart
of Silverton, has shown the potential of blending cutting-edge
technology and science with caring community values.
Beyond the attractions, the history and the services offered
here, there's something else that makes Silverton one-of-a-kind:
the people. Silverton is truly a city of over-achievers. It's
a city where volunteerism is not the exception but the rule.
If you're a visitor to Silverton, this site will help you
discover this most unique city. If you live here, it will
help you rediscover the reasons you call Silverton home.
