Review:
The Oregon City Municipal Elevator is a 130-foot outdoor municipal elevator that was built to link two neighborhoods in Oregon City. Only one of four in the world, the original outdoor elevator, was built in 1915 and connected two neighborhoods that had a dramatic 90-foot difference in elevation. The elevator was rebuilt in 1954 and still stands today with an observation deck that looks like a flying saucer and boasts beautiful views of the Abernethy Bridge, the Oregon City Bridge, and the Willamette Falls. Surrounded by murals of the history of the Oregon Territory, the Oregon City Elevator is free to ride, and visitors can take a lifetime free pass home as a souvenir.
