92 View historic sites in Gardiner

This tiny community just north of Reedsport is home to a historic district boasting 64 historic structures and 23 historic sites. Gardiner's population varies somewhat, but hovers around 271.

When you're in town, take a quiet walk up the hill to look at the church and wander quietly through the cemetery, which overlooks the Umpqua River.

Just past the public boat landing on the left is a marker placed by the Lower Umpqua Historical Society, detailing the waterway's history and how human industry has worked alongside the elements.

Many homes on the hillside, train tracks and the highway also are designated historic places.
