Silverton, Oregon

Silverton, Oregon, known as “City of The Falls” for its proximity to Silver Falls State Park, is the town we stayed in for the Total Eclipse event in August, 2017. Nestled between Salem, Oregon and the Cascade Mountains, this small, charming town is surrounded by towering waterfalls, beautiful gardens, wineries, Mount Angel Abbey, a covered bridge, and a lot of history ranging from it’s beginnings as a farming community to a tourism hub for the many local attractions. We were there for a week, and between visiting with family and enjoying the Eclipse, we took the opportunity to visit some of the highlights of the area, including the murals painted on many of the old town buildings. Here are some pictures of our visit.
