Our 43-acre site by the Umpqua River features a butterfly pavilion, historic trading fort, native plant park & nursery, gardens & trails. Elkton Community Education Center (ECEC) is located on the Umpqua River Scenic Byway and captures the essence of rural Oregon’s beauty, culture and history. During the summer season, high school students provide tours, operate a seasonal cafe and staff a roadsid
e produce stand. The site is open year round, and you can easily spend the day here, walking along the river, enjoying the gardens, appreciating local art, and shopping in the gift shop.
