This mansion has a quite a history and it is wonderful that the citizens of Portland rescued it before it fell into complete disrepair. Very interesting to view and the grounds are lovely with views of Mt St.Helens and the Cascades.

The grounds around the house are beautiful and peaceful to relax in. if you enjoy history and old houses this is a great place to visit. I would have loved to spend more time as one can quite...

After attending church service on Mother's Day, my wife, three children and my mother-in-law visited the Pittock Mansion on a beautiful sunny day. While we did not go in the mansion, we spent about an hour walking the gardens and grounds. While I had visited the Mansion a few times as a child, I did not appreciate the diversity of... More

The mansion is lovely with a very interesting history and great antiques inside. The volunteers are knowledgeable and provided lots of insight as to the contents of the home and history of the family, really enriching the experience. This is one to definitely read the plaques as they hold lots of information. We ended up spending almost 2.5 hours here,... More

A great place to visit any time of year. At Christmas, there is always a special display with a theme. For example, Christmas around the World with different countries in each room. Other times there are special displays such as antique beaded bags. And the gift shop has lots of wonderful items including beautiful jewelry.

Pittock Mansion is open all year, but if you want to see this lovely house beautifully decorated wait until Christmas! It's surrounded by lovely walking trails and beautiful views, so plan to stay for a couple of hours to enjoy the area around it.

Spectacular views of Portland. A lot of interesting history about how this family lived 100+ years ago. The grounds were beautiful.

An absolute must. Breath-taking views of the Cascade Mountains and Mount Hood and Mount St Helen's in particular. An extraordinary home which is a combination of English country house and French chateau, built by an extraordinary couple. It has been beautifully preserved by the City of Portland. There was an informative tour with a docent but self-guiding is possible. There... More
