Dorris Ranch

Dorris Ranch is a 268-acre park and working filbert orchard just south of downtown Springfield, Oregon, recognized as the first commercial filbert orchard in the United States, established in 1892, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. More than half of the commercial filbert trees now growing in the U.S. trace back to nursery stock from this orchard, giving the grounds a rare depth of agricultural history for a celebration. The property's 1892 barn is the setting most couples choose for a rustic wedding, with its rough-hewn wooden walls and floors, ceiling lights, and two large doors that open to views of the surrounding filbert orchards. Ceremonies can take place in the adjacent meadow with the reception moving indoors, or the reverse. A short walk away, the 1907 Tomseth House offers a more intimate, vintage setting, with hardwood floors, a bay window, and a front porch looking out over the orchards and rolling hills. Beyond weddings, the barn, Tomseth House, and surrounding grounds also host reunions and corporate events, with ample parking and fully equipped restrooms supporting events of varying sizes.
