If you appreciate authentic historic homes rather than re-creations, tour the Bush House Museum. The Italianate-style Victorian Bush House was constructed between 1877 and 1878 with rare amenities for the time period—indoor plumbing, hot and cold running water, gaslights, and central heating (although the house’s ten marble fireplaces would have been sufficient without it). In the backyard, the oldest conservatory (greenhouse) in Oregon, dating from 1882, contains dozens of plants—green thumbs will want to go inside for a look at some rare and unusual varieties. The Bush House Museum is surrounded by Bush's Pasture Park, where 100 acres of historic oak trees and landscaped rose gardens offer a great place to play and picnic.
