Oregon 2021: Willamette Valley sights

by | Sep 19, 2021 | Art, Travel

In addition to the coast and our wine tastings, we also checked out two parts of McMinnville, downtown and the Mason-Rivera Sculpture Garden.

It’s been a few years since we’d last been in McMinnville, and downtown felt a bit livelier. It was a lovely evening, so after dinner we walked around checking out the business storefronts, and shaking our heads at the wine puns at several street crossings.

On our way to the coast we noticed the Mason-Rivera Sculpture Garden and noted it for follow-up. After looking online and contacting the owner we stopped in to check out their outdoor art. Located outside of town, it proved to be a nice stop both for the art as well as the garden setting.
