Description

This 120-acre park on Sauvie Island provides a great place for visitors and locals alike to walk, picnic, and learn about early Portland history. The 1850s-era James Bybee farmhouse is located in the park and is is the perfect place to go to learn about some of the original settlers of the area and how they lived. When you're done exploring the outside of the restored house and the beautiful gardens around it, head over to the Pioneer Orchard, where you can take a look at traditional fruits cultivated by pioneers, such as apples (there are over 115 different varieties here!), pears, plums, and cherries. There are also nice rose gardens grown in the park, which provide a picture-perfect backdrop to that afternoon picnic.
