The Oregon District is Dayton's oldest Historic District. Our charming streets feature architecture dating back to the 1800s & early 1900s. 5th Street houses some of the best dining and shopping experiences in Dayton.

This is a fun part of town with different restaurants and bars. On the weekends 5th street is closed down to allow for people to bar hop and enjoy the area. We would highly recommend checking out this area to walk around to look at the houses or to eat at one of the many restaurants.
