==Points of interest== Scio refers to itself as the "Covered Bridge Capital of the West." There are five bridges as part of its Covered Bridge Tour<ref>{{cite web|title=Scio Covered Bridge Tour|url=http://www.daytrails.com/CoveredBridges.html|accessdate=2012-07-29}}</ref> out of a total of eight in Linn County.<ref>{{cite web|title=Covered Bridge Tour Route|url=http://www.co.linn.or.us/Roads/CovBridge/CoveredBridgeRoute.htm|publisher=Linn County Road Department|accessdate=2012-07-29}}</ref> Most of those bridges are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), including [[Weddle Bridge]], [[Shimanek Bridge]], [[Gilkey Bridge]], and the [[Hannah Bridge]]. Scio is also home to the [[Z.C.B.J. Tolstoj Lodge No. 224|ZCBJ Hall]], a lodge built on beside Thomas Creek in 1922 by the large Czechoslovakian population then living in the area. Now owned by the Linn County Lamb and Wool Fair, the lodge is used for community events and rented out for private events such as weddings and is also listed on the NRHP.<ref name="1902encyclopedia.com"/> Other buildings in the area on the NRHP include the [[E. C. Peery Building]], [[David and Maggie Aegerter Barn]], and the [[Joseph Wesely House and Barn]]. <gallery> File:Scio, Oregon, welcome sign.jpg|Welcome sign File:Southern entrance to Scio.jpg|Southern entrance to Scio, Oregon, at Hwy 226 and Gilkey Rd. </gallery>
