Aurora Visitors Association

The tiny village of Aurora, Oregon was the state’s First National Historic District and is known for its charming East Coast style architecture as exemplified by the Old Aurora Colony Museum complex and eighteen 19th century buildings housing antiques stores, specialty shops and eateries. Aurora, often cited as the Antiques Capital of Oregon, is a destination for antiques lovers from all over the world. Aurora was selected by MSNBC.com as one of the “top ten antiquing towns in the US” and by travelchannel.com as one of eight of “America’s Best Antique Shopping” cities. It was recently listed as Oregon’s top antiques destination by House Beautiful and Country Living magazines. Come for the antiques, but stay for the specialty restaurants, wineries and gift shops that ensure your visit is a memorable one.
