Best History Museum in Hillsboro

"3229 NW Pittock Dr, Hillside, Portland, OR, United States map. It’s one of our favorites in the city and walking the grounds is completely free (there is a fee to enter the mansion). Try to visit in the summer to increase your chances of having a clear sky to see Mount Hood looming over the city."

"West HillsIt has better views of the city than any other Portland park, and it's free to tour the grounds. Tours of the sprawling mansion cost $10, which isn’t a bad price if you like creepy toys: the Pittock kids’ playroom is straight out of the Bride of Chucky."

"If you are keen on art, or if it is raining (it does that come Autumn/Fall, a lot), you might want to swing by Portland Art Museum (1219 SW Park Ave) or the Oregon Historical Society (1200 S.W. Park Ave) to see local and historical artefacts. You will also find the very instagrammable 65 foot Portland sign ‘the Schnitz’ in Downtown Portland, outside of Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall.

"This Northwest Portland food cart shows off some of the region’s finest seasonal produce: Oregon strawberries appear, red to the center, in a salad with cucumbers and spring lettuces; spring peas and grapefruit benefit from the creamy tang of fresh sheep’s milk cheese from Washington’s Black Sheep Creamery; Oregon albacore hits the grill before landing on a bun with cabbage slaw. Then again, those seeking a serious smash burger will find one of those here, too. The cart is open for walk-up orders and delivery."

"The city’s food cart scene is resurgent behind new places like this one, nestled inside a bustling Nob Hill pod. The mode is foodie family friendly—truffled mac and cheese to seasonal bowls sporting the likes of farm-grown winter berries, fresh greens, three kinds of citrus, Ayers Creek Farm grains, and Greek yogurt. But the high point is the Beast, a double-pattied smashburger that captures the zeitgeist of a Big Mac without the middle bun, backed by warm, gooey cheese and sauce."

"A stop at Blue Star Donuts was definitely non-negotiable (sooooo yummy), and then we headed to our first brewery. We were looking for good food, which forced our hand a little, and ended up at Deschutes. But later we went to the much smaller 10 Barrel Brewing on a whim, and were delighted by the fun rooftop patio on what ended up being a gorgeous day."

"Voodoo Doughnuts is a Portland classic, and Blue Star is a local favorite. Check out this map for some doughnut guidance."

"After five years in her super-cute Belmont spot, former Chez Panisse pastry chef Jehnee Rains is still folding up some of the best crêpes in the city (with a $4 happy hour and a killer brunch to boot). Her sweet tooth shines in dessert crêpes like the “Chocolat,” a cocoa lover’s dark fantasy folded with Rains’s homemade version of Nutella, chocolate sauce, candied hazelnuts, and cinnamon ice cream. Savory options range from vegan and kid-friendly to create-your-own crêpes."
