Aurora is a destination local history, vintage shopping, food & wine + more!
Founded as a Communal Community in the 1850s Aurora was one of the longest running “Utopian Societies” in America and became the first ‘National Historic District’ in Oregon. Located just 25 minutes from downtown Portland, Aurora was named one of the Top 10 Antiquing Towns in America by MS-NBC and one of the Top 6 Antique Destinations by the Travel Channel. The town has many attractions including the Aurora Colony Museum, antique & vintage shops plus places to eat and drink.
In the past few years there has been a resurgence of creative local businesses to augment the antique & vintage stores. The turn of the century bank building, originally constructed for the 1905 Portland World’s Fair, has been converted into the Pheasant Run Winery. The town mill has become one of the west’s top destinations of old building parts – Aurora Mills Architectural Salvage. In the heart of hazelnut country the town has Pacific Hazelnuts & Chocolates, while White Rabbit Bakery featuring gluten-free goodies , Filbert’s Farmhouse Kitchen & Granny Fi’s Shortbread have become foodie favorites. Boutiques including Three Daisies, French Prairie Perennials and Timeless Mid-Century Antiques have been added accessories, garden and giftware.
