In Troutdale
Historic Edgefield
Plan a stay at the beautiful Edgefield Hotel, in Troutdale, or drop in for a day visit. Edgefield’s 74 acres host a par-3 golf course, sprawling vineyard, multiple restaurants and a glass blower you can stop in to watch work. Enjoy a drink, stroll the grounds, or go to a movie or concert. It’s all there.
From a farm, to a hospital, Edgefield has a long and storied history. Nearly torn down in the 1980’s, the property was saved by the Troutdale Historical Society and sold to the McMenamin family. Ask about the history at Edgefield and uncover it for yourself.
Downtown
Take a stroll downtown. Spend time in the Caswell Gallery for bronze sculptures that capture the natural beauty of the Gorge. Stop into the Columbia River Gallery for more art and world class framing. If you come in on the first Friday of the month, step in with the bronze sculptor Rip Caswell and other renowned artists for an art walk.
Sit a spell at the Troutdale General Store for a cup of coffee with decor that will take you back in time.
Visit the Columbia Gorge Outlet Mall to pick up anything you might have forgotten.
For more information visit the West Columbia Gorge Chamber of Commerce.
Museums
If you’ve explored the King of Roads exhibit and are looking for more, you’re in luck. The Harlow House, located right next to the Barn Museum holds an impressive exhibit on Troutdale’s history. Then stop by the Depot, a decommissioned Union Pacific Rail Depot.
