Play and Explore

When you visit Albany, you’ll find yourself at the center of a region full of possibility. If you look to the west, the Oregon Coast beckons with its sandy beaches and rugged coastline. To the east, the mountains and forests of the Cascades are calling your name. Right here in the valley, vineyards, lakes, rivers and lots of curving back country roads are waiting to be explored.

Discover Albany’s rich past through historic districts filled with architecture from the 1840s to the 1920s. Explore colorful homes, pioneer landmarks, and centuries of local stories woven into every street.
