Amity is located on Salt Creek at the foot of the Amity Hills. The town offers a range of points of interest, including Amity City Park on the west side of town, Amity Pioneer Cemetery, founded in 1854, and the winegrowing history of the Amity Hills. You can shape your stay around time outdoors, local history, or the region’s wine. You can also visit the Brigittine Monks: their gift shop is about 5 miles from Amity.

Enjoy time outdoors at Amity City Park

Amity City Park covers 6.25 acres and is on the west side of town. It is open from sunrise to sunset, a daily window you can take into account when planning your visit. Check current park conditions and any restrictions on specific facilities before your visit, as temporary closures or restrictions may occur.

A place in the town’s history

Amity Pioneer Cemetery was founded in 1854 and is located at the end of 6th Street in Amity. Its founding year provides a clear historical reference point, while its location at the end of the street also anchors it in the town. Together with the park, it offers a simple contrast in themes: one place is for time outdoors, the other for Amity’s history.

The winegrowing history of the Amity Hills

The first commercial grapevines in the Amity Hills were planted in 1971 at Amity Vineyards. This ties the area’s wine heritage to a specific place and year. This history offers a distinct focus for travelers who want to explore Amity in the context of regional winegrowing.

Spring and the Amity Daffodil Festival

Since 1995, Amity High School has held the Amity Daffodil Festival every spring. The festival is a recurring seasonal reason to visit; specific activities may vary from year to year. If the festival is the reason for your trip, check the dates and program for that spring before planning your overnight stay.

Bus service and visits outside Amity

Yamhill County Transit offers bus service to Amity Monday through Friday. The day of the week is a different factor to consider than the reason for your trip.

About 5 miles from Amity, visitors can sample chocolate at the Brigittine Monks’ gift shop. It’s a specific opportunity to enjoy a treat outside town. Use the distance as an approximate guide and check current visitor information before you go.

Choose where to look for hotels based on your reason for traveling

A spring festival adds a seasonal date to your plans, while a bus trip depends on the day of the week. Compare these reasons for traveling before setting your travel dates and choosing accommodations. That way, you can tailor your accommodation search to your actual travel plans rather than treating every point of interest as an equivalent activity.
