Ashland

Few cities in Oregon have a history as closely tied to Shakespearean theatre as Ashland. Set at the foot of the Siskiyou Mountains on the southern edge of the Rogue Valley, the city grew around a milling settlement before becoming known for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, founded in 1935. Its stages have made downtown an enduring cultural centre, while Lithia Park follows Ashland Creek from the centre toward wooded hillsides. Independent bookshops, galleries and restaurants share the compact core with Southern Oregon University. Nearby Mount Ashland and the wine-growing Rogue Valley connect the city to southern Oregon’s outdoor and food culture.
