24 Stunningly Amazing Abandoned Locations in Oregon
The variety of abandoned locations waiting to be explored in Oregon is a testament to the state’s fascinating past. Many of these abandoned locations are lovely; some have been gently taken over by nature, while others have an unsettling aura. Notably, many of these locations still need to be solved today, with no one aware of their natural history or function. What stories these walls would tell if they could talk.
Mitchell, a city in Wheeler County, Oregon, with 130 residents as of the 2010 census, is one of these fascinating deserted locations. John H. Mitchell, a well-known politician at the time, was honored when the city was formed in 1873 and given his name. A public school with roughly 70 pupils is located in Mitchell, which is about 9 miles to the northwest of the Painted Hills section of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument.
At Dufur, Oregon, there is another breathtakingly beautiful abandoned location. Since there is no proof to back up this myth, the structure in issue is said to be an antique dancing hall. Yet, the image of the deserted design is stunning and represents the allure of desolation.
In Kent, Oregon, one may also see deserted communities along US 97. These dispersed communities along the roadway serve as a memory of things that were once present but are now gone. These abandoned locations, which are in a beautiful state of deterioration, have a lonely feeling accentuated by the high desert’s intense heat.

Another intriguing abandoned location is the “Peter Iredale.” Built at Maryport, England, in 1890, it was a four-masted steel bark sailing ship with a registered weight of 1,993 tons—P—Liverpool’s Iredale & Porter. On October 25, 1906, the ship was headed for the Columbia River when it went aground on the Oregon coast. It was abandoned in Clatsop Spit in Warrenton, next to Fort Stevens and about four miles (6 km) south of the Columbia River channel. The bow, ribs, and a couple of masts are the only parts of the ship still standing today. The Columbia River Maritime Museum’s parking area in adjacent Astoria is where you may find the rudder.
