Bandon

The present city of Bandon was rebuilt after a devastating 1936 fire destroyed the entire business district and most of the residences.  A brick chimney on the site of the old bakery stands as a memorial just off Hwy 101.  The Old Town district is a center for art galleries, shops, and great dining places.  The Sprague Theatre is the venue for live-theater productions.  Bandon is also known as the Cranberry Capital of Oregon, and the annual Cranberry Festival in September brings many people to town to celebrate.  Many cranberry bogs are south of town and bog tours are possible in the fall.
