About 1859 Oregon's Magazine

1859 Oregon's Magazine is a statewide lifestyle quarterly magazine named for Oregon's year of statehood. 1859 captures the true Oregon for Oregonians, its admirers and visitors.

Oregon is a wealth of recreational, ecological, historical and entrepreneurial intrigue. We’re pioneers in the sustainable movement, we're bike geeks and techies, Native Americans and cowboys, financiers and vintners. We're urban, suburban, rural and ranch. 1859 Oregon's Magazine is the vehicle that folks from Pendleton to The Pearl from Bend to Bandon recognize as their own.

In an intelligent and beautiful format, 1859 explores the landscapes, the personalities, the movers and shakers, the history and the architecture that is the jewel of the Pacific Northwest. For Oregonians, 1859 is an exploration of the state's rich history, its incredible destinations and colorful personalities.
