What does it mean when we say Salem is MOPO? It means that Salem, home to the landmark Oregon State Capitol, and the surrounding small towns in the verdant Willamette Valley are the quintessential Oregon experience. The Salem area has it all — a diverse history and Tribal heritage, award-winning wineries, craft breweries, towering waterfalls and old-growth forests, generational farms, public gardens, and a buzzy arts scene. Here’s a sampling of why the region checks all the boxes — and is undoubtedly the Most Oregon Part of Oregon.
You don’t need to be a history buff to appreciate the fascinating and diverse heritage of the Mid-Willamette Valley. From the Kalapuya people who lived here for thousands of years to an eccentric natural-history museum at a 143-year-old monastery and a music-loving communal society that thrived at the end of the Oregon Trail, celebrate Historic Preservation Month — and every month — by exploring the area’s storied historic hot spots.
