    3.5 stars. Worth seeing if passing by or staying in the next-door park. Takes about an hour…read more Five mid-1800's era buildings: the Newell house (the only building in its original location), a large log cabin, a schoolhouse, and a jail. Lots to see in the cabin and in the house. We particularly enjoyed the cabin, as it had many antique tools, and much antique kitchenware and furniture. We didn't see the inside of the jail. Nothing to see apparently, as it is just a wood blockhouse with a dirt floor, and only ever had one inmate. For one night. (His pig apparently escaped and did some damage to the neighbors' gardens). It would be helpful if there was a brochure with a map and description of the various collections. AAA discount available.

    Newell Pioneer Village is a pleasant and welcoming historical park, just outside the entrance to…read moreChampoeg State Park, run by Daughters of the American Revolution. I visited two of the four buildings: 1) a spacious log cabin built as a tribute to the Pioneer Woman in 1931, later relocated up here to get out of harm's way from flooding. 2) the restored Newell House, built in 1852, on a hill above what was the town of Champoeg. When the town was destroyed in the flood of 1861, all 200 residents shared the house in the aftermath. The upstairs of the Newell House houses a display of actual evening gowns of Oregon's First Ladies from the beginning until 1992, quite interesting. Knowledgeable and friendly guides tailor the tours and stories to the visitor's interests. The grounds are pleasant and well-tended. All in all, a nice place to visit.

    LOVED THIS! We went on a foggy day and were unable to see the view, but it was still totally…read moremagical. It looks like a castle inside, something you'd never expect for being in the countryside in Oregon. It was breathtaking. Michael was our server and was awesome. He poured us a lot of fun side-by-sides, which is such a cool way to taste because it allows you to compare flavors and learn more about personal preference. He spent time and effort making sure we had fun, but also that we learned something. We were there for a long time, so don't book anything after (or close after). I would say skip the food here too. The only downside, which doesn't even merit the loss of a star, is the purchasing wine. We got two bottles, and had to go to another building to grab them. It was odd, we waited in what looked like someone's office. There were about 10 other people waiting in there with no employees or sign that anyone knew we were there. After like 15 min, we knocked on a door, and maybe 5 after that, someone started bringing orders out. Really weird system. I can see it for cases, but it was weird to have to spend 20 min in an auxillary building to grab one bottle.

    Would definitely recommend as a top activity to do just outside of Portland. Birthday, anniversary,…read morejust a day to catch up and relax, it's a spot to put on your listSuper thorough explanation of the wines. Food menu is limited but really pretty good. The area is beautiful with great views and overall very clean and well maintained.
