Description:
Enjoy this walk through a town that seems frozen in time. First settled in 1846, Brownsville still has many of its original commercial and residential buildings. It is obvious why it was chosen as the location for filming "Stand By Me". Go through Pioneer Park and the charming downtown streets. Step back in time at the Linn County Museum and the Moyer House. The climb to North St. is rewarded by an awesome view of the Willamette Valley. 3K option to Pioneer cemetery.
Driving Directions:
From I-5 North or South take Exit 216 and turn east towards Halsey/Brownsville. Go nearly 4 miles on Hwy. 228 (becomes Bishop Way. The gas station is on the right. Park on Washburn St. not the gas station parking lot.
