Be sure to stop for tours and wine tasting. Then take a few bottles along for those lazy summer evenings. Salem is another example of how much the people of Oregon treasure their natural surroundings. The citizens of Salem love their trees and are happy to share them with you. Salem Riverfront Park and Minto Island Park are two fine examples of this.
Visitors are more than welcome.
Salem is the home of the largest black cottonwood in the United States and locals will be proud to direct you to it. Salem has again been named a Tree City USA by The National Arbor Day Foundation for the twenty-first consecutive year. Salem is a charter member and was the first city to receive this award in Oregon. This year is the 125th anniversary of Arbor Day. Stop and enjoy Salem.
