About
THE HISTORY OF THE TILLICUM Built in 1870, the Tillicum (named for a great Chinook Indian Chief) was a log cabin tavern, with five smaller log cabins in the timber behind the main building, and was a stagecoach stop on the route from the Oregon Coast to Portland, The Tillicum was known to everyone as a friendly rest stop with the highest quality of food and service. It still is (although a different kind of haven), but the comforts of good food, drink and companionship have not changed. Generations of Portlanders have been fortunate enough to enjoy delicious, home cooked meals, excellent drinks and live music. Many of us have celebrated our birthdays, anniversaries and holidays here. Many guests have told us that their grandparents and parents were patrons before they themselves discovered the Tillicum. Over the past few years, the Tillicum fell into the hands of well-meaning but inexperienced operators and lost its luster. We aim to restore the "Tilly" to its former glory and welcome you to join us on this journey! We thank you for your visit and look forward to honoring all of you "weary travelers" to the newly "rescued" Tillicum.
