Fall Quilt Show in Aurora

28 September 2011

Fall is in the air…it’s a good time to visit the Willamette Valley!   There are many ways to get a “taste” of our bountiful valley.  Many fruit and vegetable stands and markets are overflowing with wonderful produce and many of our restaurants are featuring locally grown produce.  Aurora’s annual quilt show is another way to get a “taste” of local history and art.

Aurora Colony Museum will be displaying vintage, antique and new quilts in its quilt show “Bountiful Oregon” from October 14th to 23rd from 10 to 4:00 daily.  Visitors will be able to see quilts, demos, and a featured quilter, shop in the country store, and enjoy the coffee shop all in one visit!

Make your reservation at the Feller House and receive two free tickets to the quilt show.  Mention our Quilt Show Special for your tickets.

Discover historic Butteville

1 June 2011

Looking for something fun to do this summer?  Why not take a little trip to Butteville and step back in time.  The Historic Butteville Store, established in 1863 and operated by the Friends of Historic Champoeg, is the oldest continuously-operating business in Oregon.

Play a game of checkers and have an ice cold drink or ice cream cone.  The store also features delicious homemade soups, sandwiches, salads, and desserts, and on Saturday evenings from 6:00 to 9:00 you can enjoy live music and dinner (reservations are required.)

While visiting, check out the great selection of Oregon history, and nature books,  unique gifts and French Prairie grown and produced agriculture products.

The Historic Butteville Store is located just three miles from Feller House Bed and Breakfast…why not make it a overnight too!
