Albany Explorer

Explore Albany & Meet Our Pioneering Women!

Use our app to become an Albany Explorer. Experience our rich history, woven into every building and step you take as you explore.

Celebrate the history, life and achievements of Albany's Pioneering Women with the state's first Pioneering Women Tour. Visit places where these women lived or worked to gain recognition, and make a difference in our world. Watch engaging videos about their lives and contributions to Albany, sponsored by the Oregon Cultural Trust and the Albany Regional Museum.

Please enjoy our other stop by stop, interactive tours of the famous Covered Bridges, Monteith District, Hackleman District and Downtown. Watch for our QR code, scannable History Stops along the way. Every stop tells a story. After a day of exploring, stop at one of our local eateries for an experience.

We also invite you to explore our nationally known local restaurants, wineries, and take a ride on our new Historic Carousel. Remember shopping in Oregon is tax free! We can even find you a place to stay before you visit.

More questions? Meet our Chatbot AVA from the Albany Visitor's Association. She can help you discover what you are looking for and even take you on a virtual Carousel ride.

Send your friends and family a digital postcard from Albany, and see what's happening daily.
