The Astoria Column


There are 164 steps to the top of the column. Each step is dedicated to a person or organisation.

For 300 years, Spain, England, France and Russia competed for what is now Oregon, Washington, Idaho and parts of Montana and Wyoming. The Astoria Column is a summary of these struggles, victories and turning points. Sgraffito, an Italian Renaissance art form, was used to decorate the Column.
