Pittock Mansion was once the home of a prominent pioneer family and now serves as a museum of sorts. The mansion is built high up in Portland's West Hills and is not only beautiful inside and out, but provides visitors with a gorgeous view of Portland.
The grounds are filled with interesting plants and trees and are free to roam. Admission is charged if you 'd like to enter the house, and I definitely recommend it-especially if you are with kids. The house is set up as it once was and it is fun to roam through all of the rooms. I especially liked the kitchen.
During the year the mansion has different exhibits and events-so be sure to visit the website before you plan you trip. You can find that here.

It reminds me of the OLD Good Goods and Sweet Memories on Noble Ave. Remember when we used to pretend like we lived there?
