Small Museums by Bike: Milwaukie’s Best
Keana’s Candyland (5314 SE Milwaukie), Portland
(Half a day adventure – rain or shine)
From the best of Milwaukie Avenue (Keana’s Candyland!) to the Best of Milwaukie, Oregon, join us as we explore by bike. The past (bing cherry originated) and the present (Dark Horse Comics) makes Milwaukie a destination spot. And lucky for us, downtown Milwaukie is only about a mile south of Sellwood. We’ll check out the Sunday farmer’s market, the Milwaukie Museum (free admission), and also make a special ride out to the WWII Bomber Gas Station & Restaurant – just for curiosities sake. Downtown Milwaukie also has a Post office that shares the building with an archery store – now that’s unique. Local Milwaukien, Matt Picio, will be a generous host along with Carye Bye, director of the Bathtub Art Museum. Bring a lunch or snack to eat on route, or money for the farmer’s market.Note: Keana’s will have coffee, morning pastries, and of course chocolately goodness (lots of vegan they say) for those who need a little kick on a Sunday’s morning. We’ll head out about 11:45 am

Note that it is likely that the Bomber will be dropped in order to see a wonderful outdoor Haunted House in Milwaukie during their open house. Come see an AMAZING Halloween display that is rapidly becoming an area attraction!
