Lebanon Genealogical Society

Lebanon is the "City that Friendliness Built," but we are also home to the World's Largest Strawberry Shortcake, which is served yearly at the annual Strawberry Festival. The festival has been held every year since 1909 and is celebrated the first week in June.

Lebanon is located along the Santiam River in western Oregon near the foothills of the Cascade Mountains in Linn County.
