The weather here is wet. Roseburg sees rain often,
especially in the winter. Five to six inches of rain a day in
not uncommon, but the temperatures are mild throughout the year.
The high temperatures in the summer can reach up to eighty
degrees while the winters stay around a cool thirty degrees.
The town has an interesting history. In 1959, the
Gerretsen Building Supply Company caught fire, and because of a
truck loaded with dynamite, there was an extremely large
explosion. The city rebuilt and has thrived
since. This story is told often, and there is a
museum that tells the account of the Roseburg Blast.
Roseburg is a terrific spot for those who love the
outdoors. There are numerous beautiful parks, as well as a
nine hole golf course. Its layout is challenging to the
experienced golfer, yet offers fun for the casual golfer as
well. It is located in Stewart Park and also has a
driving range, golf shop, and restaurant.
Roseburg is a delightful town for people who enjoy the quiet,
relaxed atmosphere of Pacific Northwest
