I actually wrote a story about the covered bridges of the Willamette Valley and thoroughly enjoyed finding all these 'roofs over rivers' in Linn County. Schamanek Bridge is another must see for the covered bridge nuts, and if you a bit adventurous, travel from one to the next on a bike and take a picnic.

My mother in law is allergic to wheat and having a local farm that is completely gluten free is a huge win!

An historic district in downtown Albany that offers many architectural treasures.

Reviewed By deleenw2016 - Salem, United States

I grew up in two homes in this neighborhood, the first on 11th street then we moved to the corner of 11th and Oak, in a lovely three story home that is still there. Of course, the wide open spaces across Oak isn't full of trees and habitat now. The neighborhood looks very much the same in this established part of Albany. I rive through every now and again just to see how it looks and makes me feel.
