2.) Harmonic Design & Imaging at Gallery - Owner, Renee Childs, has been printing archival giclee prints of my original watercolors and acrylics for almost ten years. Her quality is consistently outstanding. In addition, she has also skillfully restored family photographs damaged in earthquakes and floods. I highly recommend Harmonic Design & Imaging for all of your high-quality printing needs.

Rogue River


1.) Woodville Museum - The Woodville Museum downtown is a good first stop, even in summer when everyone wants to head for the water. It's housed in a handsome early 20th-century house, and volunteers keep it spotlessly maintained, changing exhibits frequently and enthusiastically offering information and advice. The volunteers will suggest things to see and how to find them.
