This Grade 1, 16th-century half-timbered hall is one of the northwest’s most important buildings. Visitors can enjoy displays of 17th and early 18th-century furniture, objects and artefacts, learn more about the life and work of Samuel Crompton, and discover all about life in Stuart and Tudor times. The rooms have been accurately refurbished to retain their homely atmosphere. Hall i’ th’ Wood Museum started life as a rich merchant’s home during the mid-17th century. Years later, the building was split into several rented dwellings and, whilst living in one of these with his family, Samuel Crompton famously invented the Spinning Mule in 1779. The mule went on to be one of the most significant spinning machines used by the textile industry. The house and grounds were presented to the people of Bolton in memory of Samuel Crompton and opened to the public as a museum in 1902.

Portland owes its CNN-given title of "home to the world's best street food" to a unique phenomenon: the so-called "food cart pods" — clusters of food trucks and stalls that enjoy a semi-permanent location and often have a shared dining area with tables and seats. With several hundred food carts, the variety of cuisines represented is truly impressive, with tiny kitchens cooking up anything from classic Americana burgers to Korean-style tacos. Food cart pods in the downtown area include ones on Fifth and Third Avenues, plus the ones on the Portland State University campus. There are also Cartopia and Cartlandia in the Southeast, Prost Marketplace, and Killingsworth Station in the north, plus quite a few others.
