    Ghost Towns
    Golden Town image
    About 5 buildings including a Church, School, what appears to be a General Store, an original wooden residence barely standing, an outhouse, and a livery stable/blacksmith building. More old buildings in the back which may have been homes or part of the mine. Parking across the road. Wander through, the doors are open for the most part. Unfortunate teens had graffitied the schoolhouse blackboard. Otherwise well maintained as possible. On-site Host available for questions. See more..

    Friends of the Sumpter Valley Dredge image
    Sumpter a ghost town with mining history, historic buildings on the Main street and nowadays a population of about 200 and the Sumpter Valley Dredge State Heritage Area are situated 30 miles West of Baker City at the base of the Elkhorn Range in the Blue Mountains. Driving into the valley, you see the scenic mountain peaks of the Elkhorns on one side. On the other side, among trees and bushes your eyes will become bigger and bigger. There are piles of gravel, huge mounds of mine dumps, so-called tailings—refuse from the gold rush days. Most of the Sumpter Valley Dredge State Heritage Area consists of these tailings. The park´s centerpiece is a five-story vessel known as The Dredge, one of the tools used to dig up the valley floor along the Powder River. It stopped operating in 1954. Another witty thing you will find in the remnants of this little Western style lively hicktown isa signpost “Cannabis Dispensary”! Who would have expected this “innovation” in such a remote wasteland where most of the residents are elders? See more..
