Time slows when you get to the Pittock Mansion and step back to experience a turn of last century home and life style. The restored mansion, grounds and gatekeeper's lodge have been done to portray the character of the era. The furniture and household items are all period pieces. Interwoven with the views of the era is the personal story of the Pittock family, and its history is intertwined with the growth of Portland as a city.

Take the time to stroll the grounds and view the city from the Mansion's vantage point. You can also link up to the Forest Park trail system from the Mansion's grounds if your you enjoy hiking or a walk through the woods.

The holidays are a special time at the Pittock Mansion, with the house and lodge decorated with different themes each year, but preserving the character of the mansion.

We were visiting a relative who lives in Beaverton and this was a place that she said was very nice to visit and had lovely gardens. I'm so glad we didn't miss seeing this fantastic mansion and the view...It was a couple summers ago and at the time Mt St. Helens was spitting up alot so you couldn't see Her too well but everywhere else, as far as the eye could see, was breathtaking. The people who once lived here were lucky indeed.

My husband and I visited Pittock Mansion this last summer while on vacation in Portland. The mansion, grounds, and views are absolutely beautiful! We took a tour through the mansion with one of the docents.
He was extremely knowledgeable and gave many interesting facts about how and why certain rooms in the mansion where constructed. It was lovely to spend an afternoon there, and I highly recommend it to anyone vacationing in Portland.

We visited the mansion during Christmas 2001. It was beautifully decorated and the staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The grounds are a treat as well. It was worth the price of admission and the gift shop was pretty good. It's a bit of an uphill hike if you take mass transit but it looked like there was plenty of parking available in the lot. It looked like it would be worth visiting at any time of the year.
