Trails End Saloon occupies the historic structure built circa 1880-1885 as Freytags Grocery. Today's parking lot was originally occupied by the residence of the original occupant. Underneath the saloon is an old tunnel that was used to transport freight brought up and down river by sternwheelers. An underground entrance led from this building, under the parking lot and down to the nearby Willamette River. Local folklore describes "other" uses for the tunnels in the old days, best left to the imagination. The current building still offers nostalgic charm such as a dimly lit dark wood bar, ceiling fans run by a conveyor system, and original wagon wheels.
In 1905, this building was the site of a major fire. It was rebuilt into what you see today the last square nailed, wooden frame, lap-sided structure on Main Street.
