About Us

Vernonia, Oregon is nestled in the beautiful Nehalem Valley deep in the coast range, just 45 minutes west of Portland.  Vernonia is well-defined by the name of the town’s main thoroughfare….Bridge Street.  For just as the street bridges the Nehalem River to Rock Creek, the town is also a bridge to both the past and the future.  Vernonia combines the pleasures of small town living with the convenience of urban amenities, it offers a pleasant refuge from big city congestion.
