Description:

Load bus 8:00 a.m., depart 8:30 a.m. - NOTE LATER DEPARTURE TIME
We begin our day by driving the back roads to Thompson’s Mills State Heritage Site in Shedd. Volunteer docents will give us an hour-long tour of the last water-powered mill in Oregon. The mill chronicles 160 years of rural life and honors the owners who continually adapted the mill to the changing world around it. After the tour we will take our coffee break at a picnic site located on the grounds. Then we’re off to Mt. Angel Abbey, perched on a hilltop outside the town of Mt. Angel. The 1882 Benedictine Abbey offers an ornate church; the Alvar Aalto designed library; a small museum with an eclectic collection of North American mammals, Native American artifacts, minerals, porcelain figurines, art glass, clerical vestments and artworks; a brewpub where the monks brew beer from hops grown on monastery land. Then it is time for lunch (on your own). We will drive to the Mt. Angel Sausage Company, featuring German cuisine. You may also choose to enjoy lunch at another nearby restaurant or café, or bring your own sack lunch. After lunch we head to the Oregon Garden in Silverton for a guided tour and free time to enjoy the many gardens and gift shop on your own. We will arrive back in Eugene around 5:30 p. m.
