The Astoria Column is an amazing work of art and history combined. Fashioned after the Trajan Column in Italy and the Vendome Column in France. The Astoria Column is 125' tall and sits on top of Coxcomb Hill which is 600' so you can imagine the views from here. There are 14 scenes on the Column which depict a historical timeline with words to describe each picture. Done by an Italian immigrant named Attilo Pusteria in an art form called Sgraffito which is done with paint and plaster carvings. There is a visitor center off to one side where you can purchase some postcards or the like and pick up some very informative brochures about the Column.
There is also a $1 parking fee that helps with the park maintenance and it is good for the whole year. The park is open dawn to dusk and the information center 9 to 6 in the summer and 10 to 3 the rest of the year. Leave a Comment Address: On top of Coxcomb HillPhone: 1-503-325-2963Directions: Fromm Marine Drive take a left onto 16th and just follow the signs and the Column paintings on the road. Very cute idea.

Just stop by Astoria by the dock and see the sea lions. It only takes about a few minutes! from the street! Address: Astoria, OregonDirections: Close to the long bridge on 101 South, Astoria, Oregon. As soon as you pass the long bridge, you see the sea lions on the left side of the road, close to the dock, passed the railroad tracks. The dock is behind the Safeway store.

 North Head Lighthouse by sunnywong
The North Head Lighthouse at Fort Canby State Park was built in 1898 and is one of the windiest places in the United States. Visitors can take in the view from the height of North Head, or ascend the lighthouse itself on a tour offered by volunteers from Fort Canby State Park for a $1 fee. Tours are conducted daily during the summer from 10 AM to 6 PM, and during the off-season on weekends from 11 AM to 3 PM. Leave a Comment

This beauty belonged to ‘Captain George Flavel’, the first millionaire in the area. I wouldn't mind living in his mansion with such an amazing view of the city and the harbor.
The Captain and his family lived here at the end of the 19-th century, it is now fully restored and furnished with beautiful antiques from that period. Leave a Comment
