Pittock Mansion

Pittock Mansion

A historical must-stop attraction while in Portland is Pittock Mansion, home to Portland pioneers Henry and Georgiana Pittock, from 1914 to 1919. This establishment now serves the city as a historical home with a gentle reminder of its humble beginnings, several tourists and locals alike visiting this spot to learn a bit more about their local heritage. Inside you can learn all about how the lives of these two people directly affected the growth of the city, both individuals dedicating their lives to work, community service, and family, creating and establishing many important city traditions along the way, such as the Rose Festival and the Ladies Relief Society and Union. Henry Pittock himself was actually a part of the party to first reach the top of Mount Hood, a truly astounding accomplishment!

Inside this house-turned-museum, you will see a richly decorated interior and eclectic architectural design. Discover several different family artifacts that each educate guests on the family history in regards to the city of Portland, as well as local life in this area. Outside of the house, you will see exactly how the popular annual Rose Festival and parade got its start, Georgiana Pittock having a gorgeous terraced flower garden outside still seen today. The house in itself is of great historic significance and offers each guest a uniquely personal opportunity to see inside the life of the locals, as well as travel back in time to see where it all started. This entire experience will provide your group with both regional and historical insight, just be sure to hit the museum store before you go to gather any additional educational books or reading materials you may need! You can connect with the family and city history in here, buy period decor and accessories, and even look at different games, books, and toys.
