Albany is the delightful county seat of Linn County, located within the beautiful Willamette Valley at the confluence of the gorgeous Willamette and Calapooia Rivers near the city of Salem. The charming town was originally founded in the mid-19th century and was best known throughout the 20th century as the home of the annual Albany Timber Carnival, a major yearly logging industry festival and showcase. Today, it offers over 30 public parks and unique attractions like the historic Albany Carousel, a preserved 1909 Dentzel Carousel Corporation amusement ride that has been painstakingly restored to its original condition as a city landmark. Annual cultural events include the Northwest Art and Air Festival and the Movies at Monteith film series.
