Whether you are a local or a visitor, there's always more to a location than meets the eye. We've been in the area since 1992 and we have yet to see everything this little ville has to offer.
We put a lot of thought into what we should set up for this virtual reward. B had lots of crazy ideas, but N's sensibilities prevailed.
There's a lot of art in and around town, and while we could have list several dozen waypoints and had you & your party spend days just to claim this special prize, we decided to narrow it down to a specific subset of our favorites.
A brochure is available containing descriptions of these and other art pieces around McMinnville. Stop by the Chamber of Commerce & visit the literature rack for this brochure. The Chamber is located at 417 NW Adams St.
