McMenamins Edgefield

A Karen Brown Recommendation

One favorite stop in Troutdale is McMenamins Edgefield, a 38-acre estate originally built in 1911 as the Multnomah County Poor Farm and now on the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors come to relive history through tours of the renovated buildings and grounds. It’s quite a complex, if a bit commercialized. You’ll find a brewery and beer garden, a winery and tasting room, a golf course, a movie theater crafted from a 1930’s boiler room, restaurants, a gift shop, herb and vegetable gardens, and hostel-like accommodations. To get to it, turn right off of Graham Road (which you took from Exit 17), then right onto Columbia River Highway, rather than left into downtown Troutdale. The road veers left to become NE Halsey and you to stop and browse. Troutdale, which traces its origins to the arrival of the railroad in Edgefield is on your left.
