Not just a carousel, a small museum, a very nice gift shop and an amazing basement workshop where they carve the animals. Its all done with volunteer help. You can visit the basement for free and talk with the workers there. We had a wonderful time there.

The Pix is my prefered place to watch movies. The owners are so nice. The consessions are reasonably priced as are the movie tickets. The seats are comfortable and I love that you get served your beer or wine in a glass. It is just a wonderful experience all around. I always recommend The Pix to people and I wait to see movies there.

A quaint whitewashed covered bridge that was built in 1936.

I actually wrote a story about the covered bridges of the Willamette Valley and thoroughly enjoyed finding all these 'roofs over rivers' in Linn County. Schamanek Bridge is another must see for the covered bridge nuts, and if you a bit adventurous, travel from one to the next on a bike and take a picnic.
