Built in 1914, Pittock Mansion tells the story of Portland’s transformation from pioneer town to modern, industrialized city through the history and legacy of one its most influential families, the Pittocks. Saved from demolition by dedicated citizens in 1964, the Mansion and surrounding estate was purchased by the City of Portland and opened to the public as a historic house museum. In 2007, the nonprofit Pittock Mansion Society took over museum operations. The Society works in collaboration with Portland Parks & Recreation to operate and preserve the historic buildings. Pittock Mansion is supported by general admission, memberships, donations, grants, and museum store purchases.

McMenamins has been a neighborhood gathering spot throughout Oregon and Washington since 1983. They handcraft their own beer, wine, cider, spirits and coffee.

J and I recommend the Hammerhead Ale with a side (large) order of Cajun tots. Grab dinner and a movie at the Baghdad Theater or live music at the Kennedy School.

Situated downtown by the Waterfront, PBS Portland “is” the 3rd floor of the Pioneer Place mall.
