👀 See Albany in Full Color with EnChroma Glasses! 🌈

Experience Albany like never before with EnChroma glasses, available for loan at the Albany Visitors Association! Thanks to a Travel Oregon grant, these special glasses enhance color perception for those with red-green color blindness.

Discover the vivid hues of the Albany Historic Carousel & Museum, the lush beauty of Monteith Riverpark and Talking Water Gardens, and the stunning artwork at Gallery Calapooia—all in enhanced color!

Stop by AVA Monday-Friday, 9 AM-5 PM, to check out a pair and see Albany in a whole new way!

EnChroma glasses enhance color for many with red-green color blindness but are not a cure. Results vary.

✊🏾 Celebrating Black History Month

Albany’s history is filled with inspiring stories, and this month, we honor Bessie Wyatt Hale, the first black woman to own a business in Albany. Bessie was a trailblazer, opening doors for future generations with her dedication and entrepreneurial spirit. Her contributions to our community live on, reminding us of the strength and perseverance that shape Albany’s rich history.
