Ashland is all about the Shakespeare down to the poppy #Red
We had a corner queen on the 8th floor and this is a close look at the neoclassical gothic architecture from our bedroom window
I always check out the local chamber of commerce when I land in a town I haven’t been to before. Ashland Oregon Chamber of Commerce is unique in that it’s beside this amazing bronze Shakespeare statue.

Popular places to visit

Ashland is probably best known for the Tony Award-winning Oregon Shakespeare Festival, which I highly recommend checking out if you're in to Shakespeare plays. The statue in the photo is actually a guy in a Shakespearean costume collecting contributions toward a permanent statue of the Bard in Ashland. #WeekendGetaway
