The Astoria Column is a beautiful tower located on a hill in Astoria, Oregon overlooking the mouth of the Columbia River as it empties into the Pacific Ocean. When we arrived at the column today, a friendly man was greeting each car, giving some history of the tower, and assisting in parking. We gave him a donation which will go towards the upkeep of this monument. He was very appreciative of this donation, and we were happy to aid this cause. It is so important to financially support the  local historic monuments in your community.
