10 Things To Do In Historic Union

The Commercial Club partnered with Union United Inc. over the last few months to put together an economic development project funded by a US Dept. of Agriculture Rural Business Opportunity Grant (RBOG). We hired NE Oregon Economic Development to do a study of our existing infrastructure and to assess our most promising economic opportunities. Vicki Duggar from the Oregon Downtown Development Association toured our city and did an assessment of our assets and opportunities. She came back and told us that we have a very desirable destination for tourists looking for an experience vacation. We have a fascinating local history, a great museum, and a beautiful small town with friendly people. You can read more about her assessment by clicking this link: Historic Downtown Revival Grant. Here are the 10 Things to Do In Historic Union from her report:

1. Attend a Do-dah parade, then race a duck down Catherine Creek at the Grassroots Festival.

2. Join 3000 of your closest friends at the historic Union Hotel at Eastern Oregon's BEST Haunted House during Fright Night.

3. Enjoy the best view in Union County while playing a round of golf at the Buffalo Peak Golf Course.

4. See saddles being made by hand.

5. Learn how cowboys lived 100 years ago at our outstanding museum.

6. Have a great time at Eastern Oregon's oldest and largest stock show and rodeo.

7. Have your family portrait done in Wild West Costumes.

8. Visit a pioneer cemetery that is so popular a wedding was recently held there.

9. Drive a golf cart or ATV on city streets without getting a ticket!

10. Take a walking or driving tour of historic buildings while getting a history lesson from local residents.

We invite visitors to come see what you're missing if you've never been to Union - once you come, you may never want to leave.
