Albany

Located in the heart of the Willamette Valley, Albany is a community rich in history.

From colorful Queen Anne Victorian homes (known as the “painted ladies” of American architecture) to Craftsman-style bungalows, Albany boasts more than 700 historic buildings. But that’s not all. This friendly city is also home to museums, antiques shops, a colorful carousel studio and some of the Valley’s best brews.
