Welcome to the First Destination Resort in the Oregon Territory! 

Step back in time and explore this pioneer site on the Barlow Road, the "last leg" of the Oregon Trail.  See why emigrants called Foster's Place "paradise at last" after their 2,000 mile trek. 
 
At Foster's pioneers finally found real civilization:  gardens, orchards, provisions at the store, fresh vegetables and fruit,  pastures for their stock, a blacksmith, camping sites, home-cooked meals, and even cabins to rent.

The authentic site, less than an hour from Portland, Oregon, features original 19th Century houses and barn, covered wagons, replica blacksmith shop and store, and heritage gardens.

Bring family and friends and step back in time...

Who Visits the Farm?

Last year the farm welcomed visitors from 27 states and 11 countries.  It is interesting to us that visitors came from Germany, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Micronesia, Russia, Marshall Islands, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Sudan, Japan, and Laos.  We have a true Oregon Treasure in the Farm and we are glad that so many people from so many different places come to visit.
