Pendleton is home to America&#8217;s largest rodeo and the famous Pendleton Roundup. The town was also home to a flourishing Chinatown, which is said to have been underlain by a system of tunnels. Pendleton, Oregon is the cultural center of Eastern Oregon, and is home to a National Register-listed &#8220;Old Town.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors to Pendleton should not miss the opportunity to visit the world-famous Woolen Mills. The mills were founded in 1909 by Thomas Kay and now produce everything from blankets to sportswear. Visitors can tour the woolen mills, watch the spinning machines, and watch the automatic loom shuttles weave geometric designs into the fabric. The mills also have a retail store and a tour for visitors to learn more about the history of the city&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The historic Umatilla County Library building in Pendleton is home to the Pendleton Center for the Arts. The building was transformed into a multi-venue art center in 1996 and features both contemporary and local art. Pendleton is home to the East Oregonian Gallery, a 1,800 square foot space that showcases the work of professional and aspiring artists. You can sample the local craft beer, wine, and other local beers at one of the local breweries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city&#8217;s underground history is well-documented. The Pendleton Underground Tours uncover the city&#8217;s shady past. Chinese laborers once lived in the city&#8217;s underground tunnels and were not allowed to show their faces above the ground. The tour is an interesting way to learn more about Pendleton&#8217;s past, but you must reserve a spot ahead of time to ensure you have a chance to see everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re in Pendleton, you should make time to visit the Heritage Station Museum. This museum, which is run by the Umatilla County Historical Society, is an excellent place to learn more about Pendleton&#8217;s rich history. The museum&#8217;s collection features a one-room schoolhouse, a vintage fire engine, and a caboose. There are also many other interesting places to see and visit in Pendleton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 3.2-mile-long Pendleton Riverwalk is a popular spot to exercise in the early morning. This paved path along the Umatilla River is also home to several skateparks, as well as baseball fields and a park. A few other activities in Pendleton include hiking and fishing, but it is worth it to spend a little time on these. So, if you love the outdoors, visit Pendleton, OR today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The history of the town&#8217;s woolen mill can be traced back to 1909, when a scouring plant was constructed. Then, it was converted into a woolen mill to make robes and bed blankets for Native Americans. In 1895, the mill sat idle until the Bishop family bought it and reopened it in 1909. The new mill building was constructed with the help of a local bond issue and began production in September of that year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to know more about the town of Pendleton, Oregon, here are some things to do.
