The Canby Depot Museum is the oldest remaining railroad station in Oregon. The first steam train traveled through Canby in 1870 and rail service became the main mode of transportation for local commerce. The museum is closed in Jan. and Feb. and some holidays. A ferry has been transversing the water between Canby and the Stafford area near Wilsonville since 1914, when the Canby business community built the first ferry. The ferry is the only crossing of the Willamette River between the bridge at Oregon city and the Interstate 5 bridge at Wilsonville.
High water can periodically close the ferry.
