H is for History

Pendleton is rich with history preserved. Our tribal people have been welcoming visitors for hundreds of  years. Lewis & Clark wrote about the Native American's of this region. The Oregon Trail went right through town. Pioneers came and are now celebrating century plus farms. The Pendleton Round-Up just celebrated its centennial and Cowboys still call Pendleton home.  The railroad came which brought Chinese workers. Visit the Pendleton Underground, the Heritage Station Museum, The Pendleton Round-Up and Happy Canyon Hall of Fame, Tamastslikt Cultural Institute to see wonderful exhibits celebrating our history.Take one of the self guided walking tours including downtown or one of two neighborhood tours. Visit one of the many 100 year plus businesses including the Pendleton Woolen Mills, the Rainbow Cafe or the Hamley's Western Store.
