Falcon Rest
Clay Faulkner built Falcon Rest in 1896 just to the north of McMinnville. It is a 10,000 square foot mansion built of bricks featuring all the "modern conveniences". Falcon Rest has been restored to its former glory and is filled with Victorian antiques. The site also features an historic 1890s department store.
