The Oregon Film Trail IS The Story Behind The Scenes
For well over a century, Oregon’s diverse towns and regions have served as production backdrops for more than 700 films and television shows. From early silent films like The Fisherman’s Bride (shot in Astoria in 1908) to recent shows like Portlandia, Grimm, and Shrill, the film industry has flourished in Oregon, bringing recognition and important economic growth to countless locations.
The Oregon Film Trail (OFT) is the official statewide network of iconic markers placed at significant filming locations across Oregon—the first trail of its kind in the U.S. Connecting communities, landmarks, and notable films, the Trail weaves together Oregon’s vibrant film legacy, creating a platform to retell stories and celebrate over a century of filmmaking. Since the early 1900s, Oregon has been the backdrop for hundreds of feature films and television shows, utilizing thousands of locations that showcase the state’s diverse beauty and culture.
