I didn't grow up in this town, but a majority of my family has. It's a quiet little town with rich history. There are also plenty of year round activities as well so you'll never get bored. I haven't lived here very long, but I felt at home very quickly. There are plenty of family owned businesses such as Hector's Cocina in Conover Square (they have the best chips and salsa in town), Hazel's Cafe with the best damn iced coffee I've ever had, and The Village Bakery with their famous maple bacon donuts. Of course there's the usual fast food joints, but if you go that route you're missing out. (unintentional rhyming)
I love that Oregon is a small town and maintains the image of what all small towns should be like. Oregon has a friendly community and the fact that the town has the Rock River flowing through it makes it an excellent place to visit. It is stunning, especially in the fall when the leaves are changing colors reflecting in the water. There are many unique stores that Oregon has to offer such as the Conover Square Mall, Hopper's Poppers (gourmet popcorn) and Pelican (outdoor activities such as paddle boarding).
Oregon, Illinois is a perfect town for raising a family. There is so much to do, it’s safe, it beautiful, and the schools are excellent.
