F. Andrew Leslie’s dramatization of Shirley Jackson’s thrilling novel of the same name brings the story of Hill House and all its ghosts to theatrical life for the first time. In its spine-chilling story, an anthropologist conducts an unusual research project in a notorious haunted house, bringing a crisis in which the supernatural forces of the remote site reawaken.

✨ ALBANY in the SPOTLIGHT ✨

A welcoming destination starts before a visitor ever arrives.
Travel writer and disability mom Jennifer Allen recently shared her family’s wheelchair-accessible weekend in the Willamette Valley, including a day exploring Albany.

Her family rolled onto the Historic Carousel, explored local history at the Albany Regional Museum, enjoyed the riverfront at Monteith Riverpark, stopped for dinner, and found a quiet creative moment with books and watercolors downtown.

What stayed with Allen was bigger than any one stop. Her family found places designed with inclusion in mind and people who made them feel welcome.

We’re proud to see Albany included in a story that helps families with different needs plan their own adventures with more confidence.

✨ ALBANY (and LINN COUNTY) in the SPOTLIGHT ✨

At some point, reading about Albany should turn into planning a trip.

1859 Oregon’s Magazine put together a three-day Albany and Linn County trip planner filled with local food, historic places, covered bridges, waterfalls, and a few stops that might require extra napkins.

Albany serves as a natural home base for exploring it all, with plenty to discover right here between adventures.

Save this one for your next Oregon road trip, and see what else has put Albany in the spotlight lately. https://www.albanyvisitors.com/albany-in-the-spotlight
