Catch a glimpse of 19th century Oregon with a modern touch
Central Albany blends a classic American downtown with eclectic architecture and pioneer history from Manifest Destiny and the Gilded Age of Oregon. Walking into the Historic Carousel & Museum feels like entering an enchanted fairytale, with colorful hand-carved animal sculptures gliding around a carousel from a different time. “It’s gorgeous. Kids get to see the newest animals being designed right there in the museum,” says Pat and Christie Pendley, lifelong residents of Albany and Brokers at the Pendley Group with RE/MAX Integrity. “They were working on those sculptures before the carousel was even built. They would store the animals in the storefronts of local businesses so you could walk downtown and see them in the windows. Residents have seen those pieces for many years, and now they’re in the carousel.” The Albany Regional Museum reveals artifacts and exhibits showcasing the city’s history. Previously a Presbyterian Church, Whitespires is a gothic building with stained glass windows, detailed arches and spires pointed toward the heavens. At the Monteith House, built in 1850, tour guides in 19th-century attire tell ghost stories and share details about the construction of one of Albany's ancient houses.
