Pittock Mansion, Portland

Finally made my way in for a self guided tour followed by a "behind the scenes" tour. A fair bit of history is packed into this house, and it's definitely worth the trip for either type of tour. Staff was very friendly and helpful (and many of them were volunteers). Would recommend a visit for anyone who lives or works in the Portland metro area that is interested in a little history. The grounds are also beautiful, and free to roam. There are at least two trail approaches to the mansion, so it's possible to hike up from elsewhere.

Such a great historical landmark. We really enjoyed this Portland gem. The garden is beautiful and has a great view of the city from above. The house is so well curated and has been beautifully restored to it's original glory. The amount of educational materials and artifacts is incredible, especially for a museum of this size. This is a great day activity for both families and adults without children alike. It was really interesting seeing the West coast's own "Downton".

A very well preserved and managed early 1900's mansion. The rooms, architecture and use of early 20th century technology is wonderfully interesting and informative. For a house that is over 100 years old (and hasn't been occupied for more than 70) this mansion and grounds are exceedingly well kept. The docents are extremely knowledgeable and are a wealth of information. A real find. Highly recommended.

Interesting museum because you can feel the history. Everything is written on the walls and explained. The house has been preserved with all of the inventions that were new back then that we take for granted now. Great for hiking afterward. Amazing views of downtown. Good price for a museum.

Pittock Mansion is very carefully and beautiful preserved Victorian era Home. This mansion has dedicated care takers who manages everything to make this mansion beautiful and intact. They recently installed history boards with all necessary information along with the vintage photographs of the family members, architects and workers who built this mansion. Each and every room is very beautifully preserved like Pittock family is still living there. Rise garden surrounds the mansion contains more than 200 various types of rose plants. Hill point view of the mansion shows a panaromic view of Portland city. Must visit place for everyone.
