Throughout Oregon, the hamlet of ASHLAND, forty miles southeast of Grants Pass, is identified with William Shakespeare - a real anomaly among the rest of the timber and dairy-farming towns. Since 1945, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival has been held here between February and October, packing audiences into the half-timbered Elizabethan Theatre in Lithia Park. Its setting, between the Cascade and the Siskiyou mountains, is magnificent; there's good skiing in the winter and river rafting in summer; there's also some excellent contemporary fringe theater. Try the Oregon Actors Theater, or the Oregon Cabaret Theater - not to mention pleasant cafés, galleries and a friendly atmosphere throughout. RestaurantsThe main choices for eating and drinking in Ashland can be found along
east and north Main Street, near the entrance to Lithia Park. The
choices vary widely: More Ashland Hotel Specials - click here
