Silverton

Silverton is a city in Marion County, Oregon, United States, along the 45th parallel. The population was 9,222 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Salem Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Silverton is the gateway to Silver Falls State Park, Oregon’s largest state park. It is also the home of the Oregon Garden, an 80 acre (320,000 m²) botanical park. Located next door to the Oregon Garden is the Gordon House, the only Frank Lloyd Wright designed home open to the public in the Pacific Northwest. Each summer, Silvertonians celebrate their most famous citizen in the Homer Davenport Community Festival and parade. Also notable is the farmers market on Saturdays where local farmers and artisans sell their wares. The first bank robbery and chase scene in the movie Bandits (starring Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton) was filmed in Silverton.
