Silverton
A compact Oregon town in the Willamette Valley wine country, Silverton sits along Silver Creek with a walkable central core of cafés and restaurants. Platted in 1854, it grew from a sawmill settlement founded eight years earlier, and farming has shaped the surrounding land ever since. The town lies within the Salem metropolitan area, a short drive northeast of the state capital.
