In celebration of the movie’s 40th anniversary, the Astoria Police Department created a new uniform patch to honor the movie that put the Oregon Coast town on the (non-treasure) map.
“Love it or hate it, there’s no denying the lasting impact the movie has had on the City of Astoria,” the police department said. “This milestone is a chance to celebrate that legacy—and to connect with the amazing fans who travel from around the world to visit the place where it all began.”
The ‘80s classic, featuring Ke Huy Quan, Josh Brolin, Sean Astin and more, portrayed a group of kids in search of lost treasure after finding an ancient pirate map. It went on to become a cult classic. In December 2017, the Library of Congress added it to the National Film Registry for its “cultural, historic and/or aesthetic importance.”
It has maintained its popularity since then, with many enthusiasts still visiting “The Goonies” house for photo-ops and a sense of nostalgia.
Visitors looking for an extra bit of nostalgia can get their own patches at the Clatsop County Historical Society, the Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Astoria Coffee Company.
