The videos of Travel Oregon’s ‘Oregon, Only Slightly Exaggerated’ reveal whimsical scenes of enchanting forests, vineyards, rivers, mountains and more. They share with you that magical feeling of being in Oregon.
Travel Oregon, in partnership with the Oregon Cultural Trust, is bringing murals to each of Oregon’s regions. Also contributing to the Oregon culture is Forest for the Trees a nonprofit 501(c)3 public art organization that believes artists play a vital role in the cultural ecosystems from which they grow, aiming to protect and expand their reach amid an ever-changing environment.
The featured mural was dedicated October, 2018 in The Dalles, Oregon. An historic city on the sunny eastern end of the Columbia River Gorge, The Dalles is fortunate to have easy access to rivers, hiking trails and scenic drives. The Oregon is Magic mural joins 32 other stunning murals in The Dalles. The Dalles Mural Society was organized in March 1993 with the mission of pictorially preserving the epic historical events that have occurred in our area.
The Dalles Oregon has been the center of commerce for more than 10,000 years. For centuries the Native Americans fished for salmon at Celilo Falls and tribes from far and near would bring their goods to trade for the dried fish. The falls were flooded by The Dalles Dam in 1957 but spirit lives in the traditions and religions, indeed in the very soul of Columbia River Indian people. Their record of habitation proves Wy-am to be one of the longest occupied sites on the continent.
Let the Oregon Mural Trail inspire you to get outside and experience the wonders of each community. Take photos of the murals and use the hashtag #OregonIsMagic in social posts to share the love. Visit the landmarks and businesses that make the communities and surrounding area just so magical.
