Around the Valley: with Karen Huwe

PENDLETON, OR-A fun and educational occurrence can be found in nearby Pendleton, Oregon.  The Pendleton Underground Tours located downtown is also within walking distance to great restaurants and other attractions. . The website states that it is "A Place Where Culture is Kept, History Is Told and Legends Live On".  After receiving your ticket, a guide will take you under the streets of Pendleton to a place that was once alive with card players, saloon girls, and Chinese laundry workers.  You will go through tunnels to the meat market and see where the workers lived.  Then you will be escorted upstairs to one of the bordellos.  Once a year the tour "comes to life" when they have live actors during the tour. An interesting look into the past; why the Chinese came here and how they helped build the West. More information about the tours and how to schedule a tour can be found on Pendleton Underground Tours website.
