Stop by this historic poor farm that the McMenamins have remodeled into a hotel, music venue, distillery, winery. Walk the beautiful gardens, sit outside or in any of the eclectic spaces they have beautifully curated. This is a great place to stop by for a meal or a drink on the way back from the Columbia River Gorge or Mt Hood. I'd even say it's a fun destination for a day trip.
