AN OREGON TREASURE

End of the trail, the start of adventure

We are at the end of some trails and the beginning of many others. Astoria, Oregon is both a gateway and the hub in a region steeped in history. Standing at the top of the Astoria Column, you can envision the hardships, bravery, and awe experienced by the first people to live in this corner of the world. Dedicated by the Great Northern Railway in 1926, the Astoria Column stands today as a monument to those people. The Column is a unique work of Northwest art offering an unparalleled view of the meeting of many roads. Come start your journey to the region here, with us.

 

Planning an Event?

The Astoria Column provides a wonderful setting for small outdoor weddings, reunions, birthday parties, and corporate events. Please note, however, that the park site is a public space and cannot be closed for private events and there are limitations on available services.
To ensure that your group has an exceptional visit to the Column, we ask that groups contact us to schedule their visit by calling the gift shop at 503.325.2963, or sales@astoriacolumn.org
