From Mt. Hood Territory - The new “Heritage Falls Gallery” is an approachable gallery with art for many levels and tastes of art collectors. Well-known Pacific Northwest artists, such as Michael Maiden, are featured alongside artists who are collected worldwide. The gallery also represents the quality work of undiscovered artists.

President Rick Crisp and Director Deborah Fulwiler chose their current location so that they could be part of what they call “the wonderful destination of the Historic Willamette District.”  The gallery is located next to the new “Masters of the Vine” and “Rice Thai Cookery” restaurants.  The recently-relocated Hollyhill Quilt Shoppe & Mercantile is now next door. 1914 Willamette Falls Drive, Suite 140, West Linn.

From Mt. Hood Territory - TeleTales—this interactive interpretation program, which gives visitors access to narrated features via their cell phone by calling 503-342-3597, has gotten some excellent press exposure since it’s inauguration at the end of January. It’s a great resource for your recommendation to your own customers as well, and we hope that you’ll refer to it as appropriate. You can listen to the recordings by going on our website at http://www.mthoodterritory.com/teletales.jsp. Brochures are also available.  If you’d like some, please let us know!
