Silverton sits 15 minutes from Salem and 45 minutes from Portland in the foothills of the Cascades. The Oregon Garden, the state's official botanical garden, occupies 80 acres on the south edge of town with rotating seasonal displays, ponds, and trails, and you can stay next door at the Oregon Garden Resort. Just inside the property, the Gordon House is the only home Frank Lloyd Wright designed in Oregon, a 1957 Usonian relocated to the garden in 2001 and now open for tours.
