We were the only ones there but there is plenty of parking even when it's busy. Just make sure you have a "Discover Pass". You can swim there in the summer too. It's just a peaceful beautiful place to be and the drive up the Washougal River is beautiful too.

It's Portland Heritage and History!!! We should always seek out knowledge and what a great place to…read moregain a little history and knowledge. The house is a time capsule it's a little eerie, it's staged as if they went on Holiday and never returned. From the authentic period clothing on mannequins that can also be found in photos, to their Knick-knacks and memorabilia. It's like stepping back to the early 1900's. The house isn't Pittock Mansion Status, but it shows the working family farm life and the docets are very informative and point out little tidbits of history to watch for as you wander the property on a self guided tour. Total time in the house was about 30minutes and another 15 exploring the gardens and farm area. Pretty good activity on a cloudy day we took 2 teens and they found everything interesting. 4 stars because the building is in dire need of repairs.

We visited the house for the Winterville holiday festival. Based on the website, it seems like 2016…read morewas the first year this took place, so it's a new event. Essentially, the event is only for two weekends in December. The house was decorated for the holidays a la Pittock Mansion. In one of the rooms they had amateur string players playing holiday music, and there were a few docents around the house providing historic information on the home. The house itself was decorated with Christmas lights, and they also had a sort of Christmas light garden out front. Outdoors next to the house they had a cute wooden sleigh with a decent Santa. Pictures with Santa (with your personal camera or phone) were included in the admission price. Next to that was a tent with concessions and live holiday music. They had alcoholic beverages for purchase as well as hot chocolate and non alcoholic cider for the kids. While we were there we heard choral music from what looked to be a high school choir. There was a vendor fair as well, but, frankly, it was terrible. Not sure if they normally have more vendors and no one showed up due to concerns over road conditions, but there were like three booths, and the tent was mostly empty. Parking was at the business center across the street, and there were volunteers to safely walk you across the road. Overall, this was a cute little event. The price was a little high for a winter event, in my opinion, but it was pretty reasonable considering the fact that it also included the tour of the historic home as well as all of the Christmas displays.

She wrote the wrong information without checking facts about Taliban coming into power in Afghanistan in "1984". I told her Taliban didn't exist then. They came more than a decade later. She looked at me in a very irate manner "Well I just wrote what she said (the woman who gave her info about Afghanistan). I told her well it's wrong, explaining about when Taliban came into power. The museum lady said "I'll research it" and walked away talking to others. I've never been felt unwelcomed and felt horrible vibes from somebody who supposedly cares about the museum or cares about facts. I'm Afghan, and I told her I was. She didn't care. She wasn't rude. She was just very stand offish and annoyed that I was even talking to her.

This is Historical Gresham Downtown. A fun community with a…read moresmall town - downtown feel. You can find many restaurants, eateries, cafe and froyo! Not to mention a fun Candy store. Besides, culinary ventures to Mexican, Vietnamese and Traditional American you can also find some "Art" aspects. Such as Photography, Museums, Music ( from instruments for sale to lessons). Seems like this little downtown area has a lot to offer. For a Wednesday Midday - was able to find parking relatively at ease. Originally, The Gresham Historical Museum was what my attention, but sadly due to a fire the Museum has been closed for awhile. I was however, informed by a staff that they planned on opening towards the end of November filled with many new decorations for the upcoming holidays. *Bring your kids! Pictures with Santa will also be available- Call Museum to confirm Date & Time. After walking through the downtown area, I was enjpying the fall leaves fluttering down as couples went into a restaurant to eat, friends were leaving, people just enjoying a cup of joe,etc. There are many fun 'memorial/ donation' statues you will see left and right. Overall, Felt completely at ease and safe and would highly recommend friends and family to stop by and enjoy this quaint area. Grab a bite to eat, enjoy the museum, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the weather on the many benches available. Looking forward to coming back to visit once again.

I read all the reviews - negative and positive alike - before approaching Rolling Hills for a move…read moreto Portland last week. I see a lot of sour grapes writing reviews here, and that usually means the people writing them do not have their affairs in order or the required stuff needed to stay short- or long-term in an established community. My experience with Rolling Hills has been extraordinary; the manager, Anne, has been extremely helpful and informative from Day One of my inquiry process- which was stressful because I was moving on short notice from across the country to take on a new position and role in my company - so almost everything was new! I traveled through and arrived here during the worst weather the West and the Portland area has seen in decades and sustained some weather-related damage on my trip up. Anne has provided me with shopping, community, repair, neighborhood, and other valuable information - and everyone I have spoken with has nothing but kind and supportive things to say about Rolling Hills and the management as well. I am NOT an easy person to please, so when someone cares about their job AND their community and stands out as going above and beyond, I am ALWAYS happy to provide that feedback. We always get the negative side - people love to complain. But the positive information is FAR more important!

I love the water so being able to walk on a nice paved path and take in these views energizes my soul. As you make your way, there are kiosks and touch and learn signage to educate in the birds, wildlife and history of this area. So many to spot along the way including blue heron, osprey, eagles and more. For those that want to kayak or canoe, there are non motorized launch areas, too. Views from down on the water give a different, equally beatitular vantage point. Along the way is the Natural Play Area, designed to blend in and represent nature with a hillside slide, log balancing beams, a boulder maze and of course, a Sasquatch named Egan. With a few picnic table scattered around, even some in the shade, it's a great place to take a walk, bike ride, kayak and then picnic.
